Multiply by how many products are in this shoot to see the full workload before you book anyone. 3. **Copy the brief and hand it off** — Paste the shot list and background note into a message to your photographer, or use it as the prompt checklist for an AI photoshoot tool. ## Common questions ### Is this shot-list builder actually free to use? Yes. It runs entirely in your browser, no account and no credit card. Nothing about your product or catalog is sent to a server, aside from an anonymous tool-run ping so we know the feature gets used. ### Where do these shot counts and time estimates come from? The angle checklists mirror what working e-commerce catalogs actually ship for each style: studio, lifestyle, flat-lay, or UGC. The time estimates are stated assumptions, not guesses: 15 to 35 minutes per finished shot for a traditional studio workflow depending on style, versus about 2 minutes per shot for an AI photoshoot tool working from a single reference photo. Adjust them to match your own team's pace. ### Can I use this brief with a real photographer? That is exactly what it is for. Copy the shot list and the background note, paste them into your brief, and your photographer knows what to shoot without a back-and-forth call first. ### Can I use it to brief an AI photoshoot tool instead? Yes. The same shot list works as a checklist for tools like Klayn, which turn a single reference photo into a full studio shoot, lifestyle scenes, and packshots without renting a physical studio. ### Why does the shot count change with angles per product? More angles means more coverage: front, three-quarter, back, top-down, and detail shots. Choosing 12 adds close-ups and scale references, so a customer never has to wonder what the back of the product looks like. ### Does the tool store or send my product details anywhere? No. Every field stays in your browser and the brief is assembled locally. Nothing about your product, category, or catalog size leaves your device. ### What if my product does not fit any of the four styles? Pick whichever style is closest, then edit the copied brief by hand. Studio, lifestyle, flat-lay, and UGC cover most e-commerce catalogs, but the list is a starting point, not a rulebook. ### How many products should I run through this at once? One at a time if you are comparing styles, or your whole catalog count at once to get a total shoot-time estimate. The output scales linearly, so ten products simply multiplies the shot count by ten. ## Ready to actually shoot it? This brief tells you what to shoot. Klayn turns one reference photo into the full set, no studio, no photographer, no shipping samples. *Call to action: Try Klayn free* ## FAQ ### Is this shot-list builder actually free to use? Yes.
