Do you have any clue what you are arguing for?Originally Posted by hotshot
The point of the thread is not about what any one does for a living or the equipment used. The definition of "photo shoot" pertains ONLY to fashion and/or commercial advertisements, nothing else. The same "photo shoot" can be done with a $20 35mm bought from a pawn shop or a $40,000 Hasselblad, it doesn't matter...it's the subject and purpose that makes it a "photo shoot" or not.
What are you implying when you title "photo shoot" in a pictures forum? That you went out and took photos? lol. It is indeed in the pictures forum isn't it? Isn't that a little redundant? That's like putting "WTB" in a thread title in the "WTB" forum, of course it's "wanted to buy" because it's "WTB" forum. Same goes the items in the "for sale" section.
This thread is about the incorrect use of the word and nothing else. Until Webster changes the definition of "Photo shoot" to "taking photos" then my argument stands. Very few people have done "photo shoots" on this forum, me included.
