"For the sake of profitability and immediate delvery"... and no PP? That sounds like 'mere' snapshots to me. Almost Polaroids!
The difference between a snapshooter and a photographer lies in the composition, lighting, timing, and in the quality of the delivered image. The latter will be vastly different if proper PP is applied.

I can: if it's for the yearbook photo, or if it's to be used for promotion, like in ads, brochures, folders, or on posters, etc. etc.
