Photos Per Hour Calculator

Calculating the Photos Per Hour (PHPH) helps photographers and event managers estimate productivity or the efficiency of photo sessions over time. This calculation is essential for planning, budgeting, and optimizing workflows in professional photography settings.

Photos Per Hour Formula

The formula to calculate Photos Per Hour is:

\[ PHPH = \frac{PH}{T} \]

Where:

• \(PHPH\) is the Photos Per Hour (photos/hr),
• \(PH\) is the number of photos taken,
• \(T\) is the time in hours.

How to Calculate Photos Per Hour

To determine your Photos Per Hour:

1. Identify the Number of Photos Taken: Count or estimate the total number of photos captured during the session. For instance, 357 photos.
2. Measure the Time: Determine the duration of the photo session in hours. For example, 234 hours (this seems quite long for a typical session, so ensure the time is accurate or illustrative for calculation purposes).
3. Calculate the Photos Per Hour: Use the formula to find out how many photos were taken per hour.

Example Problem

Given:

• Number of Photos Taken = 357,
• Time = 234 hours,

Calculating the Photos Per Hour:

\[ PHPH = \frac{357}{234} \approx 1.53 \, \text{photos/hr} \]

This calculation provides a measure of how many photos were produced on average each hour of the session. Remember, the time should realistically reflect the duration of active shooting to get a practical PHPH value.
