yes! virtual shoot attendance is required so you can give live feedback and we can capture your content just the way you need it.

‍

if you do not attend we do our best to capture your goals. if you'd like more content with the hand model after we wrap: you must create another booking and pay for the hand model service.

the hand model service includes clean and unpolished nails that are cared for by the model themselves at home. 

‍

your model's hands will be moisturized and cuticles trimmed. nails will be free of dirt and no longer than 1 cm in length above the fingertip.

‍

- if a color or a standard nail look + length is desired -use our press on manicure service for $39 per model.

- if you need your products applied to a model’s nails - use our custom manicure service for $109 per model.

our models are everyday people local to our studios - and our directory is constantly changing! log into your soona account to browse our directory at book.soona.co/directory to see what kinds of people we may have available for your shoot.

‍

after booking, you’ll filter and select your top preferred models.

‍

if you can’t find who you’re looking for, email us at hey@soona.co with the details of your preferred model + we will let you know what options are available.

prices at modeling agencies can be variable and booking fees can differ from model to model. there are also usage + renewal fees to use the content after the shoot and there may be extra fees added due to contract negotiations.

at soona you pay a one-time fee that is the same for every soona model. and that’s it! there are no usage or renewal fees - so you never have to worry about where or when you can use your content!

yes! attendance is mandatory for all shoots with models. this is to ensure that you can give live feedback to the model(s) and we can capture your content just the way you need it.

we pride ourselves on bringing everyday people local to our studios into our model directory! this allows us to celebrate diversity + accessibility + inclusivity. 

‍

our models have a wide variety of experience in production. all models have one test shoot with soona and all operate under the same soona standards and expectations.

you can communicate live with stylists during shoot kick-off calls at the start of a shoot and using the chat feature during the shoot. please provide clear shot lists and shoot goals before your shoot so our stylists can review and execute on your expectations.

if you're looking to talk to a soona team member before a shoot for production and shot list support you can use our producer service starting at $999.

during your shoot our stylists efficiently recreate the shot list and shoot goals you provide. our stylists follow your creative direction to setup scenes and capture your vision. stylists add an extra set of hands to your shoot + helps bring your vision to life. stylists do not define your brand's creative vision or managing your creative project. you must provide a shot list and shoot goals before your shoot for our stylists to review and follow.

the price of a stylist ranges from $249-$499.
‍
$249 = 1 - 5 price (1 hour)        
$299 = 5 - 10 price (2 hours)
$349 = 10 - 15 price (3 hours)
$499 = 15 - 25 price (4 hours)

inside our Etsy starter pack you’ll receive 5 photos and 1 hand model. what we recommend: utilize our white and colored backgrounds to capture multiple angles. insert your brand elements. bring your product to life with your included hand model in two lifestyle settings to really give your customers a feel for what your products might look and feel like in their hands.

our fashion stylists can:

• steaming up to 5 items per hour booked
• pin + fit apparel on models
• create garment + accessory flatlays

steaming for large quantities of items will require adding our steaming service. if you're looking to include a mannequin in your shoot you can book our ghost mannequin service starting at $249 for seamless floating shots of your apparel.

we can steam up to 20 items. more than 20 items will require multiple steaming upgrades.

as many as your shoot duration allows! expect around 15 minutes per nail change for the model to remove and reapply a new color.

soona was founded by Liz Giorgi and Hayley Anderson after realizing how hard and expensive it is to create professional photo & video. Liz and Hayley are a dynamic founding creative team with a shared vision of using tech to enhance the work of creatives and improve access to high-quality custom content.

we suggest you make a booking dedicated to just model shots. this may mean you create two bookings - one for model photos and another for non-model photos. 

‍

for example: if you need 16 photos with no model and 12 photos with a hand model we suggest you book one hand model shoot in the 10-15 photo range. and book another shoot without a model in the 16-25 photo range. 

‍

if you have special shoot needs or need help with booking reach out to hey@soona.co for suggestions!
