photo shoot
'Shooting' and 'Fotoshooting' both mean a planned shoot with a professional or a team. 'Fotoshooting' is more specific because it clearly refers to photos. 'Shooting' is more general and, depending on the context, can mean photo or film recordings. Learners may confuse the words because in everyday speech people often simply say 'Shooting', even when they mean a photo shoot. If you are clearly talking about professional pictures, 'Fotoshooting' is usually clearer. 'Shooting' fits better when the context is already known or when film is also possible.
