These are the realistic times each stage of a Solo shoot should take, assuming there are no problems, and appropriate preparation has been done before the shoot day. These are estimations, and some days might be shorter or longer. The total time based on these estimations is 8 hours and 45 minutes.
If a Shoot Producer finds that the time taken for these is considerably longer or shorter, consult with the Collective for advice.
(See the separate FAQ What do I need to do to prepare for a shoot with a model? for the stuff that happens before a shoot day)
