Using these hashtags well

Say what kind of shoot it was
#maternityshoot or #prewedindia gathers people planning that exact session. A bare #photoshoot gathers everyone and so, practically, no one.
Credit the team in the caption
Name the photographer, makeup artist and location in text. Tags help strangers find the post; credits help the team get found too.
Use fewer tags on a carousel
A swipe post already holds attention. A tidy five, Instagram's limit, reads better than a long block under the caption.

Questions

Which hashtags work for a photoshoot post?

Mix one broad tag with ones for the shoot type, the place and the style. Each helps people who follow or search that exact tag find the post.

Should a photographer and a client use the same tags?

They can share the shoot-type and location tags. Photographers may add craft tags like lighting; clients can add outfit or occasion tags.

Do I need a different set for every shoot?

Yes, swap the location and the shoot type each time. A reused block says little about the session you are posting.
