Morphology
The noun 'photo shoot' is directly and compositionally derived from 'photo' (a photograph) and 'shoot' (to take photographs), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer it means a session for taking photos. This formation and the concept are cross-linguistically common (e.g., 'sesión de fotos', 'séance photo'), making the expression immediately comprehensible.
Etymology
Photo shoot comes from a simple image: photo means a picture and shoot was used like 'to take a picture', as if the camera quickly 'shot' images. So a photo shoot is a planned session to 'take' many pictures.
