In sentences, 'Shooting' (photo shoot) is often combined with the verbs 'haben' (to have), 'machen' (to do), or 'planen' (to plan). People say that they 'ein Shooting hat' (have a shoot) or 'ein Shooting macht' (do a shoot).
Nächste Woche habe ich ein Shooting mit einem bekannten Fotografen.

The word is often made more specific in order to describe the type of shots. Common combinations are 'Foto-Shooting' (photo shoot), 'Video-Shooting' (video shoot), or 'Mode-Shooting' (fashion shoot).

recording / admission / uptake
'die Aufnahme' and 'das Shooting' can both have to do with photos or film. 'die Aufnahme' can mean the process in which an image, sound, or video is captured, or the finished photo itself. 'das Shooting', on the other hand, is a planned photo or film session, usually with a photographer, model, or team. Learners may confuse the words because many shots are created during a photo shoot. In practical terms: the shooting is the situation or appointment, while the Aufnahme is more the individual image or the act of capturing it.
