Say you go for a photoshoot and you were given only 15mins to shoot. Out of this 15mins, how many shots do you think are keepers? And out of these keepers how many would you use for your portfolio?

If I have to pay for the photo shoot, I'll keep all of the shots.

tucker said:the number of 'keeper's are only known as much as you know yourself.
and if this isn't even your called shot.
none of them are keepers.
how about asking something else?
dDarkroom said:count me out if pay to shoot
out of 10 you should guide him to select 3 as a series - 10 from the same model/makeup/stye is way too many
Tetrode said:Bob,
I am going to assume that you are referring to the studio sessions you organise on a regular basis.
The number of keepers will depend on the photographer - how well he knows himself, his equipment , his ability (or lack of ability) to extract the poses and expressions from the model, the set up of the shoot and the standards he has set for himself.
Also one should get know a bit about the person they are photographing. Inexperienced studio photogs will not know how to establish rapport with the subject in such a short period of time. And it would be difficult to do so even if they do know, having to rival for the model/s attention with 3-6 other people in such a contrived situation.
Plus, some people are just plain shy.
Some people don't like others looking over their shoulder when they are "working" and may not be able to concentrate on the task at hand.
And some people also just take a longer time to do things especially when they don't really have very much experience.
Just my 2c.
Bobman said:no i am not referring to any of the organised shoot. i m just ask in general. maybe 15mins is too short say 1 hr or 2. Say in the end of the photo session, u have captured 200 shots. Out of these 200 shots, many will u keep and how many will u put it up in ur website as portfolio but consider that u have other models as well......
jsbn said:15mins per model? All warmup shots only. Not 1 keeper. Serious.
I thought u shld be experienced enuff to know?
