Shot list

A shot list captures every image a photoshoot must deliver. Each entry typically describes the subject, framing (full length, three-quarter, headshot), styling, location, and any client must-haves. The list is grouped by scene or location and is reviewed during the shoot so the photographer can tick off completed shots in real time.

Example

An e-commerce shoot's list might be: SKU-101 front, SKU-101 back, SKU-101 detail; SKU-102 front, three-quarter, model wearing — and so on for every product.
