So, no, Shoott photography won’t solve all your issues, but it will abate risk, and there’s a solid chance you’ll come out of it with a good looking image to hang on your wall and share on the socials.

According to its company press, Shoott is a female-led business “on a mission to make professional photography more affordable and accessible, while also empowering local professional photographers.”

Shoott photographers offer free 30-minute photo sessions at “beautiful and convenient” locations.

In this case, Sunday, October 9 at the Margret Hunt Hill Bridge. You can sign up here. Other dates and locations are available too if you miss this one.

After your session, you receive the digital gallery — 40+ high-res, lightly edited photos — and you pay for the ones you want. The prices are posted on the site, and they are reasonable.

Shoott photographers work on salary and commission, according to the website.
