A low starting price can mean very different things across Hong Kong pet photography websites. One price may cover only the studio appointment, while another includes selected digital photographs. Detailed retouching, owner portraits, a second pet or an extra set may be separate. The useful comparison is therefore not one number; it is the complete arrangement needed to create the photographs you want.
Compare these seven items first
| Item | What to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Session time | How many minutes are allocated to the actual session? | A shy, senior or exploratory pet may need a slower pace. |
| Pet count | How many pets are included, and what does a second pet cost? | This can change both the price and time required. |
| Owners | Are owners included, how many can join, and does the set fit them? | Compact themed sets do not always suit a group portrait. |
| Sets | How many sets are included and which ones are currently available? | A set change uses time and may require a second adjustment period. |
| Base colour work | Which usable images are delivered and who selects them? | “All photos” normally should not imply tests, missed focus, duplicates or RAW files. |
| Detailed retouching | How many images receive detailed work, and what do extras cost? | Base colour adjustment and detailed per-image retouching are different stages. |
| Add-ons | What applies on weekends, for pets, owners, sets and extra retouches? | Adding likely extras shows the realistic total. |
How do the two THIS FILM packages differ?
As checked on 17 July 2026, THIS FILM has two regular pet photography packages with approved pricing; current set and appointment availability must be confirmed when enquiring. The main differences are session length, the number of themed pet-only sets and the number of detailed retouches.
| Package | Weekday | Weekend / public holiday | Key inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pet Portrait | HK$1,280 | HK$1,580 | Approximately 30 minutes, one pet, one pet-and-owner set, one themed pet-only set, up to two owners or family members in the shared-set segment, base colour adjustment for all photographer-selected usable images, and three detailed retouches. |
| Pet Story | HK$1,980 | HK$2,280 | Approximately 50 minutes, one pet, one pet-and-owner set, two themed pet-only sets, up to two owners or family members in the shared-set segment, base colour adjustment for all photographer-selected usable images, and six detailed retouches. |

Who is the HK$1,280 package for?
Pet Portrait suits a family looking for one pet-and-owner set plus one themed pet-only set, with three detailed retouches for the key images. The shorter session can still include natural movement; it does not require every frame to show the same seated, camera-facing pose.
Pet Story is the more suitable starting point when a pet is shy, benefits from pauses, or when you want a clearer mix of wide, medium, close and alternate-angle images. Read the guide for shy, restless or camera-avoidant pets before deciding.
How should you budget for add-ons?
- Second pet: HK$400, including about ten extra minutes.
- Five additional detailed retouches: HK$500.
- Additional owner or family member: packages include up to two; each further person is HK$200 and joins only in the pet-and-owner set.
- Three or more pets: assessed first according to size, personality and familiarity with one another.
For two pets, include both the fee and additional time in your comparison. If several owners also want to join, confirm the set before simply adding every option together; composition and usable space still matter.
A practical quote checklist
- Note each pet’s species, age, approximate size and personality.
- Decide whether the priority is pet-only work or a short owner segment.
- Confirm the difference between base colour work and detailed retouching.
- Check weekday, weekend and public-holiday pricing.
- Add likely pet, owner and retouching extras.
- Confirm that the selected set fits the pet and everyone joining.
If you are unsure, send the basic pet details and preferred date first. A recommendation based on the real group is more useful than buying a combination that may not fit.
