Someone one asked me about a "thing" shoot and I have never heard of that.  Can someone tell me what they are talking about?

Why don't you ask them what they mean?

The person that asked me was an underage model who was asked to do a thing shoot by a photographer.   I don't know the photographer.  I have worked with the model before and she often asks me questions.

Hmmm, who would best be able to define what the word "THING" means from the conversation:

A) People who had nothing to do with the conversation
or
B) The person who asked you to do a "THING" shoot....

When I saw "thing shoot" all I could think of was Thing, from The Adams Family.  That would be kind of awesome.
