How long do photo sessions last?

How do you photograph spiral stairs?
Stand at the top or bottom of a spiral staircase with your wide-angle lens and you can get a great but rather overdone shot of the spiral shape twisting up. Try getting someone to stand or lay at the bottom or carefully peek over the bannister at the top and use the spiralling stairs as a frame.
How high should you hang pictures on a staircase?
How high should you hang pictures on a staircase? About 60 inches (150 cm) above each step. This will help make your pictures look symmetrical and keep them evenly placed. Use a measuring tape to find your point, then mark the spot with painter’s tape to keep track.
Should I wash my hair before a photoshoot?
Make sure your hair is clean before you get on set. Wash it the day before your shoot opposed to the same day because perfectly clean hair can be a little hard to style; products don’t grip onto it very easily. Make sure your hair is dry (unless you are specifically asked to arrive on set with it wet).
How many pictures should be expected from a 1-hour shoot?
40-50 pictures
In a 30-minute photography session, you could get around 20 photos to choose between, whereas from a 1-hour shoot, you should expect 40-50 pictures to look through.
