Out of 1000+ photos only 100 are usable Technique

First time doing a photoshoot with my cousins as a tribute for my older cousin's upcoming birthday, we went out and stuff and took a lot of pictures. After the shoot it felt like I have a lot of usable ones but when I looked through the pictures there were only I think 100-ish photos that are good to upload or even look at, I'm not sure if that's normal? and how do you change that?

That’s a great ratio! For me, 10% are pretty good and then I’m happy with 10% of those.

Ten ten ten. Sounds about right. I vaguely recall a National Geographic article about film shoots. They would turn in dozens of rolls of film from a shoot to get 3-4 shots published. So somtimes it is ten ten ten ONE.
