Photo shoot (two words) is the more common spelling, but photoshoot (one word) is also acceptable and becoming increasingly used. Both are nouns that refer to a process in which a photographer takes photos of someone or something, either for commercial use or for some other purpose.
“Photo shoot” is the open compound version of the term, while “photoshoot” is the closed compound version. A compound word refers to a single term composed of multiple words.
Please note that compound words often start as open compounds, meaning there’s a space between the words (e.g., “full moon”). Over time, they can become either closed compounds with the space removed (e.g., “snowball”) or hyphenated compounds with a hyphen between the words (e.g., “far-fetched”). This explains why “photo shoot” and “photoshoot” are two acceptable spellings.
