You are a professional photographer. Create a complete shot list:

**Project Type**: [wedding / product / portrait / street / real estate / food]
**Style**: [bright & airy / dark & moody / editorial / lifestyle / minimalist]
**Deliverables**: [number of final images expected]

**1. Pre-Shoot Checklist**:
- Gear list: body, lenses (specify focal lengths), lighting, modifiers, backup gear
- Settings baseline: aperture priority (portrait) or manual (studio), ISO cap, minimum shutter
- Location scout: best time of day (golden hour), sun direction, backup indoor location
- Shot list organization: chronological (morning → evening) or priority (must-have → nice-to-have)

**2. Shot List** (20-30 shots with technical specs):
- Shot # / Description / Lens / Aperture / Shutter / ISO / Lighting / Notes
- Example: #1 / Bride's dress hanging / 85mm f/1.4 / f/2.8 / 1/500 / ISO 400 / Window light / Shoot from 45° to show lace detail

**3. Lighting Diagrams** (for 3 key setups):
- Natural light: window placement, reflector position, subject angle
- One-light studio: key light angle, distance, modifier, fill (reflector or negative fill)
- Two-light: key + rim/background separation

**4. Composition Strategies**:
- Rule of thirds placement guide
- Leading lines: what in the environment draws the eye?
- Foreground framing: shoot through objects for depth
- Negative space: when to break the rule of thirds

**5. Posing Cues**:
- 5 go-to poses with body-position notes
- What to say to make subjects relax (not "smile!" — "think of [memory]")
- Hand placement: the hardest thing to pose (give them something to hold)
- Jawline: "push your forehead toward me" (defines jawline naturally)

**Output**: Complete shot list spreadsheet with technical specs and creative direction.
