Planning a successful shoot starts with a solid shot list—and we’ve made that part easy for you.
At Studio Nula, we created a streamlined shot list builder that helps you clearly communicate your photography needs, making the entire process smooth, efficient, and stress-free.
Our shot list builder lets you:
✅ List your products – Add each item you’re sending for the shoot.
✅ Set quantities – Indicate how many units you’re sending.
✅ Choose one or more image types per product – Flat lay, ghost mannequin, model photo, video. One product can have several, so a garment you want photographed and filmed is listed once.
✅ Add visual references – Indicate how many shots you need per product by uploading sample images so we can match your desired style, lighting, and angles.
Understanding the shot list
Each row of the builder is one image type for one product. A product that needs more than one look holds several rows, grouped together under its name.
Two totals sit at the foot of the list, and they answer different questions:
Total products – how many items to put in the box. Check this against what you’re actually shipping.
Total deliverables – how many finished images come back to you. This is what the order is priced on.
💡 Pro tip: Total deliverables = number of units × number of shots per unit.
For example, you have 5 t-shirts and you need 2 photos per t-shirt (front&back). The total deliverables for 5 t-shirts would be 10.
How to organise products in your shot list
When you’re preparing your shot list for a Studio Nula shoot, clear product naming and organization make all the difference. The way you name and separate your products should reflect how you’d like them to be photographed.
Three situations cover almost everything:
1. Several of the same item, shot the same way
Two t-shirts photographed identically (both as flat lay singles) are one product with a quantity of 2. Don’t list them twice.
Name: T-shirt
Quantity: 2
Image type: Flat lay single
Deliverables: 3 images per t-shirt = 6 total
2. One item you want shot more than one way
A jacket you want photographed and filmed is still one product. Fill in its first image type, then press + Add an image type for this product and choose the second. Both rows stay grouped under the one name.
It still counts as one product in the totals, because it is one thing you put in the box — which is exactly why the two totals are separate.
3. Different items that need different treatment
If two t-shirts are genuinely different garments and each needs its own styling, list them as separate products and give them names that tell them apart — “T-shirt A” and “T-shirt B”, or better, the actual product names.
💡 Pro tip: Split into separate products when they are different ITEMS. Add an image type when it is the same item you want shot more than one way.
Getting this right keeps your product count honest, which is what tells you how many things to actually ship us.
This approach helps avoid confusion and ensures we execute your vision accurately and efficiently. If you’re ever unsure how to list something, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to guide you through it.
Whether you’re launching a new line or updating your online store, this tool helps ensure we get exactly what you envision—without the back-and-forth.
