How it works
- Choose a preset template (Wedding, E-Commerce Product, or Real Estate) or start from scratch.
- Add custom scenes with framing types (Wide, Medium, Close-up, Flat-lay) and recommended lenses.
- Assign priority levels (Must Have, Important, or Nice-to-Have) and lighting/posing instructions.
- Check off shots in real time during production and export the final list to CSV or clipboard.
FAQ
Why is a shot list essential for professional photographers?
A shot list serves as a production blueprint ensuring no critical commercial client deliverables or once-in-a-lifetime wedding moments (like the first kiss or family formals) are missed under tight event timelines.
What shot types should every complete shoot include?
A well-rounded production blends establishing Wide shots (environmental context), Medium shots (action and subjects), Close-up portraits (emotion and expression), and Macro/Flat-lay detail shots (branding and textures).
How do you balance "Must-Have" vs "B-Roll" shots during a shoot?
Prioritize 100% of "Must-Have" commercial essentials first during optimal lighting windows, then utilize remaining session time to experiment with creative angles and candids.
Can shot lists be shared with clients and second shooters?
Yes! Export the list as a CSV spreadsheet or copy formatted text directly into your call sheet or team chat.
