CRTE Rapid days are run by the same photographer start to finish — the person who lights the set is the person who delivers the retouch.
A dedicated rapid-lane for DTC teams. Ship the product Monday, get the retouched gallery in your hands Friday. Priced flat, no per-image games.
Deposits and fixed-price sessions, paid by card. Once it clears, the date is yours.

CRTE Rapid is a scheduling product, not a different camera. You get the same lighting, retouching and files as a standard session, compressed into five calendar days by locking scope before the shoot instead of after it.
Product arrives or is already at the studio. The shot list is confirmed once, in the room, and then it is closed for the duration.
One lighting design is built for the whole job. Rapid buys speed by refusing to relight halfway through, which is agreed at booking.
Straight through with a working lunch, tethered so selects are marked live. Contact sheets are out by 5 PM the same day.
Your selects are due by end of day two. This is the only deadline that sits with you, and missing it moves delivery to the standard schedule.
The retouched gallery is live in Pixieset by 5 PM on day five, including the revision round, or the rush fee is refunded.
Rapid fails for exactly one reason: a decision that arrives late. If your approver is travelling on day two, book the standard schedule instead — it costs less and it will not put your team under a deadline it did not choose.
Twelve products shot Monday, contact sheets Monday evening, selects Tuesday, 72 retouched frames plus cutouts live Friday at 5 PM.
Nine SKUs at six angles: 54 frames plus nine transparent main images meeting the 1600 pixel minimum, delivered inside five calendar days.
One product, four angles, one lighting look: contact sheet in three hours, final files the following afternoon on a same-week single-frame rush.
Five calendar days from shoot to live gallery, with the delivery hour named in writing when the slot is confirmed. If we miss it for any reason inside our control, the rush fee is refunded in full and the standard delivery still stands. Complex lifestyle sets, multi-talent days and any video deliverable are not eligible, because compressing those degrades the work rather than the schedule.
Rapid carries the same perpetual, worldwide, unlimited licence as a standard product session — the speed changes nothing about what you may do with the files afterwards. Marketplace, paid media, packaging and wholesale use are all covered, and there is no separate advertising fee. Because Rapid jobs are frequently pre-launch, portfolio use is withheld by default and only released when you tell us the product is public.
Rush scheduling and delivery applied on top of a standard package once availability is confirmed.
