Test shoot
← Back to glossaryDefinition
A test shoot is a professional photo or video session designed to evaluate a model's photogenic qualities before recruitment and/or to create the first images of their book. Funded by the client or agency, it tests the chemistry between the model and the camera. Test photo costs advanced by the agency are generally recovered from the model's future contracts.
