A photo shoot is generally used in the fashion or glamour industry, whereby a model poses for a photographer at a studio where multiple photos are taken to find the best ones for the required brief. The "model" is not always a person, however; for instance, advertising in print often requires photographic depiction of advertised goods, and food can be the subject of magazine articles (often in very elaborate presentations).
A few examples are:
- Modelling for a newspaper or magazine article, as well as billboards
- Advertising a company's product, where the product is generally used by the model
- Aviation: Air-to-air photo shoots or photography of an aircraft, with another acting as a photo- or camera-ship
- Modelling a new range of fashion designs for a store or designer
Famous quotes containing the words photo and/or shoot:
“I was
the girl of the chain letter,
the girl full of talk of coffins and keyholes,
the one of the telephone bills,
the wrinkled photo and the lost connections....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Like other cities created overnight in the Outlet, Woodward acquired between noon and sunset of September 16, 1893, a population of five thousand; and that night a voluntary committee on law and order sent around the warning, “if you must shoot, shoot straight up!””
—State of Oklahoma, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
