Fotograferingsscenario

Fotograferingsscenario is a planning framework used in professional photography to articulate the conditions, actions, and visual outcomes of a shoot. The term combines fotografering (photographing) with scenario, and is commonly used in Nordic production contexts as well as in international practice to describe a structured plan for image-making sessions.

Its content typically covers location, time of day, weather or lighting conditions, subjects and their poses or activities, wardrobe and styling, props and set design, camera and lens choices, and the schedule or sequence of shots. It may also address safety considerations, permissions, model releases, and contingency plans. The scenario is often accompanied by a mood board or shot list that defines the look, feel, and narrative to be conveyed.

Applications include fashion, commercial, editorial, portrait, and event photography, as well as film and video production where a shoot plan guides crew and equipment. Benefits include improved coordination among photographers, assistants, stylists, makeup artists, clients, and location managers; better estimation of time and budget; reduced risk of reshoots and miscommunication; and clearer alignment of creative vision with practical constraints.

Relation to other planning tools is close, with fotograferingsscenario sharing purposes with shot lists, storyboards, and mood boards. As a planning artifact, it helps translate concept into actionable steps and ensures consistency across shoots or productions.
