Story:

The skillset that put Squareshot at an advantage is the same skillset that made our first business fail.

Alex, co-founder and CEO of Squareshot

In 2016, my partner Dmitiry Kovalenko and I were developing our first startup – a marketplace for used luxury items. We lacked experience and capital to overcome a common marketplace problem of what came first – the chicken or the egg*. It also turned out that the images we shot for our used items were "too good" to be believable. So, we decided to pivot and start Squareshot.

*Chicken-and-egg problem occurs when marketplaces have to figure out what comes first – supply or demand.

In 2017, Dimitry and I were still scattered across the globe. Early on, we collaborated on photoshoots using Skype. Our very first clients came from a local fair across the road from our first studio in NYC. I brought them on board and showed how much we could do with a little bit of their trust and 24 hours.

With little to no resources, but just enough ambition to compensate for it we made it work. We transformed remote work from a disadvantage into Squareshot's core asset. Long before it became the new normal.

Today, Squareshot is a product photography service with a network of studios across the US. We employ talented experienced professionals. We are still scattered across the world, purposefully.

Culture

At Squareshot, we believe that ambitious results can be achieved without detriment to our lives and relationships. We promote a healthy work environment, where the key emphasis falls on a simple human value – respect.

We are a team of doers – energetic, highly responsive, but most importantly – curious.

We are always in pursuit to expand our team, as you never know when you’ll find a like-minded human. We've also seen incredible success tracking results, not time. Corporate bureaucracy does not stand in the way of our progress.

If you align with these values and you feel that we might find professional common ground – reach out to us at hello@squareshot.com

Q&A

Still have questions?
WHAT'S THE TURNAROUND TIME?
We start shooting your project the next business day once we receive the payment. There are 2 image delivery speeds:
‍‍STANDARD takes 8 business days* since we receive the products and the payment.
RUSH takes 4 business days* since we receive the products and the payment.
*excluding holidays and applies for orders up to 50 standard images.
HOW TO SHIP PRODUCTS?
1. You can schedule a drop-off of your product(s) at the Squareshot studio assigned to your project.

2. You can generate a shipping label with the shipping service of your choice and provide us with the tracking number.
WILL MY PRODUCTS
BE RETURNED?
YOU HAVE A FEW OPTIONS TO GET YOUR PRODUCT(S) BACK:

1. You can schedule a pick-up from the Squareshot studio.

2. You can send us a prepaid return label for your shipment.

If you don’t need your products back, you simply do not make a return shipping request. We intend to donate left items to local charities.
HOW MUCH
DOES IT COST?
We have a per-image fixed pricing for each category of service (standard photo, group photo, hand model photo, etc). You can also purchase a membership (Growth and Enteprise), which grants you a cheaper base price. There's a 300$ minimum order for non-members.
CAN I PROVIDE REFERENCES?
Sure! We encourage all our clients to provide references to understand what result you would like to achieve.
CAN I BE PRESENT
DURING THE SHOOT?
Unfortunately, no. Our production model is built around efficiency, remote coordination, and fixed pricing. We have introduced the necessary tools to support effective online collaboration.
DO YOU ACCEPT REVISIONS?
Yes, any revisions made due to Squareshot's failure to follow your shooting directions are free of charge. Any revisions made due to unclear directions from the client which were open to interpretation and assumption will be paid.
IS RETOUCHING INCLUDED?
Yes, standard retouching is included for every image you order. Any complex manipulations such as fixing product damages will be paid.
