film stills

Frozen cinema moments

Film stills are photographs taken on a movie set, typically during or between scenes, used for publicity and promotional purposes.

Unlike screenshots captured from the finished film, stills are shot by a dedicated photographer and often show moments that don't appear in the final cut: The lobby displayed film stills from classic Hollywood movies.

They document productions and promote releases through posters, press kits, and advertisements.
