Answers
Questions we hear most often.
Before booking a studio, most people have the same dozen questions. We have gathered them here, grouped by stage, with honest answers. Where something depends on the project, we say so instead of guessing, because a vague promise helps nobody.
About the studio and Services
What services does Khobare Studio offer?
We offer Commercial Photography and Videography from our studio in Wakad, Pune. Photography covers Product, Industrial, Food, Interior and Real Estate, 360 Degree Product, Fashion and Editorial, Jewellery, Corporate Headshots and Healthcare. Videography covers Brand Storytelling, Industrial, Promotional, Social Media, Training and Safety Films and Aerial Drone Footage. We also provide creative direction, styling and production planning.
What makes Khobare Studio different from other studios?
We treat images and films as business tools. Each project starts with where the work will be used and what it needs to achieve, and the process, lighting and delivery are designed around that. We also handle a wide range, from steel valves to executive portraits, so clients with mixed needs deal with one team, one schedule and one consistent look.
Which industries do you work with?
Manufacturing and Engineering, Food and Hospitality, Product and e-Commerce, Jewellery and Luxury, Fashion and Lifestyle, Healthcare and Pharma, Real Estate and Architecture, Education, Professional Services, Events and Conferences. Variety keeps our technique sharp, and it means we usually understand your sector’s expectations.
Do you work outside Pune?
Yes. We have shot in more than twenty-five cities and regularly travel for plant shoots, campaigns and events. Travel and accommodation are included in the quote when required.
Planning and Preparation
How do you prepare for a photoshoot or video project?
We start with a consultation about your goals, audience and usage. Then we build a plan: shot list or script, mood board, locations, props, schedule and logistics. For video we add a treatment and storyboard. Everything is shared with you before the shoot, so there are no surprises on the day.
What should I do to prepare my products or location?
For Products: clean them, remove tags and protective film, and bring spares if any are likely to be damaged. For locations: tidy surfaces, switch on working lights and arrange access, parking and any permissions. We send a checklist tailored to your project after booking.
Can clients be involved in the creative process?
Yes, and we encourage it. You will have input on concept, shot lists, styling, locations and edits, and on shoot day you can review frames live on a monitor. Your knowledge of your business combined with our experience produces the strongest work.
Do you offer on-location shoots?
Yes. We shoot in the Studio, at Factories, Offices, Restaurants, Hospitals, Apartments and Outdoor sites. We bring portable lighting, backdrops and tethering gear, so quality on location matches the studio.
Pricing, Timelines and Delivery
How much does a photoshoot or video cost?
Every project is quoted individually, because scope varies widely: the number of products or people, studio or location, styling, retouching depth, video length, crew size and usage rights. Send a short brief with quantities and intended use, and we will return an itemised proposal.
Do you offer customised packages?
Yes. We tailor packages to project type, duration, deliverables and budget, whether you are an enterprise, a small business or an individual. Recurring work, such as monthly social video or periodic product launches, can be arranged on retainer.
How long does it take to receive final edits?
Edited photographs typically take five to ten business days. Edited videos typically take ten to twenty-one business days, depending on length and complexity. Express delivery is available on request for launches and fixed deadlines.
What formats will I receive?
Photographs arrive as high-resolution files for print and optimised files for web and marketplaces, often with square and vertical crops. Videos arrive as masters and platform-specific versions, with captions where needed. Layered or transparent files are available on request.
Equipment, Quality and Rights
What equipment do you use?
Professional cameras and lenses, including prime, macro and tilt-shift lenses, studio and portable lighting, tethering gear, stabilisers, drones and professional sound recording, plus colour-managed editing and grading software. We choose kit to suit the job rather than showing off.
How do you ensure the quality of the final visuals?
Through planning, lighting, composition and live review on a calibrated monitor, followed by careful retouching or grading and a final quality check against the brief. We check files for sharpness, colour and consistency before delivery.
Who owns the images and videos?
Usage Rights are agreed in the quote. Most clients receive rights to use the final files across their own channels for the agreed purposes. Tell us if images will be used in paid advertising, sold on third-party platforms or by a franchise network, so the licence matches.
Can I request revisions?
Yes. A review round is included, and we aim to get things right the first time through live approvals on the shoot day. If the brief changes significantly, we discuss scope and timing openly.
Getting started
How do I book a shoot?
Contact us through the form, email or phone with a brief description of what you need. We will respond with questions and a proposal. After you approve, we confirm dates and begin planning.
How far in advance should I book?
For most projects, one to two weeks is enough. For large productions, multi-day shoots or peak seasons such as festivals and wedding months, earlier is better. If you have an urgent deadline, call us.
Video, Drone and Special Projects
Do you offer drone and aerial video?
Yes. We plan flights within India’s drone rules, check airspace zones and advise on permissions before the shoot. Aerial work suits real estate, construction progress, industrial sites and events, and we deliver both 4K video and high-resolution stills.
What is a 360 degree product photograph?
It is a set of images shot as a product turns on a motorised turntable, assembled into an interactive viewer that lets customers rotate and zoom. We provide the viewer, the individual frames and a still hero image for each product.
Can you keep our work confidential?
Yes. Many industrial and product clients ask for confidentiality, and we are happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement. We also agree in advance what may and may not appear in frame, and what we may show in our own portfolio.
Do you work with agencies and freelancers?
Yes. We often act as the production partner for agencies, shooting to their creative brief and delivering organised files and project assets for their team to finish.
