Shoot Type
The genre of a shoot, or "shoot genre," is the broad classification or objective of a photo session, such as catalog, creative, lifestyle, or ghost mannequin shoots. It describes the session's purpose and helps set expectations for styling, duration, and intricacy.
As a key aspect of production, shoot type outlines anticipated styling requirements, time allocation, and overall complexity.
Pro Tip
Clarify the shoot type early to align expectations around styling, schedule, and post-shoot complexity.
Use Cases
Used to define the purpose of a session—for catalog pages, creative campaigns, lifestyle imagery, or ghost mannequin product shots.
