Definition of "Photo Shoot"

[CHADbee]

Chad....you part Lawyer or what??? JP.

I think Jason made this thread in response to sooooo many people calling everything a "photo shoot" even if they just pulled out their cell phone to take the pics of a car in a shopping center parking lot.

shit i wish, if i was id have part that salary!

and i understand where he is coming from and it frustrates me as well, but i just wanted to get down to the exact definition of it. which is what he said it was, taking pictures of something used for promotion but i personally believe that can be stretched, i had planned on going out soon with my buddy that has a really nice s2000 and shooting his car in a very nice location for him to have some nice pictures of his car. ive planned this for a few weeks with him and scouted locations cause i plan to really step my game up with this shoot, take my time shooting and in post processing and really do it right. am i getting paid? no he is one of my best friends since childhood. will the images be used for an ad for cusco? nope. will the photos be proper? i hope. in my eyes the time and effort put into it and what the end result will look like(hopefully) makes it a photoshoot of a s2000. but its weird cause by definition, like speedminded said its not but will i call it a photoshoot? sure will LOL

again im not trying to debate or argue over it cause it pisses me off too when i see the word photoshoot and see light poles growing out of roof lines of cars, parking lot lines everywhere and shitty composition/lighting.

I think that's exactly what Jason was eluding to.
