The problem every photographer knows.

A shoot is planned in references long before a light goes up: the light, the casting, the location, the styling, the order of the day. Written shot lists lose the thing that matters, and the client wants to see where it is going.

cine.gallery turns a shot list into a gallery. Save references as you find them, split the day into galleries, and send the client one link that stays current until the shoot.

What goes in it.

Whatever you work from. These are the references kept here most often for photography, and the kind of thing people type to find them again.
