What You Should Do As A Clothing Photographer

By Kathrine Franks


When you browse clothing collections you will see models. If can find these ads in magazines and in web sites online. A models job is to make the product look good. To draw attention to the product.

Working with clothes is different because it can not move on its own. It must be on a hanger or shown in a way that makes it look more lifelike. When you add proper presentation technique and correct lighting, the results will be an enhanced item that looks great.

Another trick of the trade is using a steamer. This is a gentle way to ease wrinkles out of the fabric. It does not cause stress on the material like a flat iron. When clothes are presented in a crease free way, it does a lot in making it look appealing to a customer. Nobody will line up to buy wrinkled apparel.

If you have the time you can hire a model for your photo shoots. Working with a person will show the buyers how the outfit should look when it is worn. This will require more time to take pictures than if you were to just capture the items alone.

If your business is retail clothing, a good investment is to buy several mannequins or dress forms. They can be used to hang clothing and it will achieve the same purpose of showing how it should look when worn by a person.

When you take photos, ideally the whole item should be seen. All the details need to be visible. So placing them on a table or folded would not show them in the right light. It would be more suitable on a garment rack or dress form. Customers will demand to see every part and detail so each piece will need multiple pictures.

Images of their stock fill their web sites and that is how their customers will pick and choose what they want. Online shopping is very popular and a lot of people prefer this to going to the store physically. However customers also want to be able to have an accurate idea of the item and the photos need to be of high quality.

Learning photography tricks will help you be able to show the best image of whatever it is you would like to sell. Always press or steam before you take the shots. Learn the balance of light and dark and other aspects of making a digital picture look good but still give an accurate portrayal of the clothes.
