Outside Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick, the nearest product photography studio is often an hour's drive and a courier account away. That distance, more than the day rate, is what stops most Irish small businesses from photographing their catalogue properly.
Studio day rates across Ireland typically run €300–€700, higher in Dublin and lower in regional studios. Per-image rates of €15–€40 are common. Factor in courier costs both ways if you are outside a city.
Irish sellers concentrate on Shopify and Etsy, with Amazon.ie growing since its 2025 launch and local marketplaces such as Adverts.ie and DoneDeal still relevant for larger goods. Irish craft, food and homeware exporters also list into the UK and wider EU, where full image galleries matter more because the buyer has never encountered the brand.
Hire a photographer when you need a hero image that has to be a genuine, unedited photograph — Amazon's main listing image, for example — or when the product is reflective chrome, clear glass, jewellery, or anything whose value is in fine printed detail. Software is the better choice once you already have one good photograph and simply need more angles of it.
AngleAI is software, not a studio in Ireland. It is built by Digital Bridge in Ireland and used in the browser from anywhere.
Typically €300–€700 for a studio day, or €15–€40 per finished image, plus courier costs if you are shipping samples. AngleAI's four-angle set costs 12 credits — about €1.40 on the $15 pack.

Rigid packaged goods — jars, boxes, bottles with matte labels, wooden and ceramic craft items — are among the strongest cases. Very fine printed label text and clear glass remain the weakest, so check the free generation on your own product first.
