Cut Costs, Not Quality: How Argil’s AI Photoshoot Feature Empowers Budget-Friendly Content Creation

The content creation landscape will drastically change in the decade to come due to AI’s increasing role in eradicating manual production and reliance on human labour.

One of them will be the ability to perform professional grade photoshoots without the need for expensive equipment or crews. This is a huge bottleneck for brands and businesses with smaller budgets who still require visually appealing, professional grade photos for brand marketing, but often have to compromise on quality due to the costs.

At Argil, we don’t want to the conversation to ever have to be a compromise between cost and quality because of the struggle to maintain high standards within small budgets. Our AI photoshoot is one of a stack of features aimed at democratising accessibility to professional grade content without the traditional costs.

How Argil’s AI Photoshoot Tool Works

We’re content creators ourselves, so we understand the pain of content production and have even experienced studios and professional sets from making movies and series. So we built Argil to eliminate the production burdens that come with creating content. The process to use our AI photoshoot couldn’t be simpler:

  1. upload a video recording
  2. Argil analyses the video
  3. produces professional grade photos

It’s that easy. Argil also creates various photoshoot scenarios, offers editable lighting, angles, and backgrounds which you can choose from yourself by simply selecting them. By fine tuning the output in this way with your own styles and themes in mind we can make sure every brand’s unique vision is captured.

The goal for us at Argil is to completely remove traditional requirements and the need for manual labour in content creation which is the biggest bottleneck to producing content quickly and at scale. The fast turnaround and high quality without the associated costs has finally democratised accessibility to professional grade photoshoots for brands of all sizes.

Cost Comparison: Traditional Photoshoots vs. Argil’s AI Technology

Traditional methods are understandably costly when you factor in all the components of a studio grade photoshoot. Here’s a quick breakdown of the associated costs we’re familiar with:

camera and gear rental: $200-500/day

lighting equipment: $100-300/day

studio rental: $300-1000/day

post production: $50-150/hour

This is before mentioning if a model, props, or stylists are also required for the shoot.

Factoring in these costs, brands and businesses can cut their production budget by 70-80% using Argil. Our AI photoshoot comes under a subscription to our entire centralised platform at $49/month which at a fraction of the cost also includes all our other AI capabilities for automating video production.

  • 24/7 availability (no human dependence)
  • faster turnarounds for competitiveness
  • reduced risk (no need to pay for reshoots from unsatisfactory results)

This value stack offers true scalability, making it easier to produce more and more content to keep up with demand as you grow, without a proportional increase in the production costs. If you want to leverage Argil for cost effective content at scale, join us here to get started.
