photo shoot
An Anglicism for a professional session for taking photographs, often for fashion, advertising, or portraits.

'Shoot' is a term from English that is used as a technical or jargon word in the media, fashion, and film industries. Outside these areas, the word is rather uncommon.
Morgen habe ich einen wichtigen Shoot mit einem bekannten Fotografen.
Tomorrow I have an important shoot with a well-known photographer.
The word 'Shoot' is a short form of the also common Anglicism 'das Shooting' (the shooting / shoot). It is often expanded into compounds such as 'Fotoshoot' (photo shoot) or 'Videoshoot' (video shoot) for greater precision.
Der heutige Fotoshoot für die neue Kollektion hat zehn Stunden gedauert.
Today's photo shoot for the new collection lasted ten hours.
In the context of photography, 'Shoot' is often combined with certain verbs and prepositions. Typical phrases are 'einen Shoot haben' (to have a shoot), 'einen Shoot buchen' (to book a shoot), or 'ein Shoot für eine Kampagne/ein Magazin' (a shoot for a campaign/a magazine).
Das Model wurde für einen großen Shoot in Paris gebucht.
The model was booked for a major shoot in Paris.
recording / admission / uptake
'die Aufnahme' and 'der Shoot' can both have to do with photos, film, or video. However, 'die Aufnahme' is much more general: it can mean the act of recording or taking a shot, or also a single photo. 'der Shoot' more often means a planned session in which professional photos or videos are made, for example for advertising, fashion, or portraits. Learners may confuse the words because many shots are created during a shoot. In practical terms: the shoot is the work situation; the Aufnahme is often the individual result or the technical recording process.
Für den Shoot im Studio bringt das Model drei verschiedene Jacken mit.
For the studio shoot, the model brings three different jackets.
Die Aufnahme vom Sonnenuntergang ist besonders klar geworden.
