What You Should Do As A Clothing Photographer

By Kathrine Franks


When you look at a magazine or buy stuff online you will see models. They are the hangers for the clothes and jewellery. They are just second in importance. The items should stand out not the model.

In commercial and fashion industries one essential aspect is the apparel. A clothing photographer is tasked with an important job. They must make the garment appealing through the picture.

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.

A mannequin is a good option. They still give you the illusion of a body but they are inanimate and wont cause distractions. It will give a good idea on how it will look when worn. As customers you want to be able to imagine what it looks like. Dress forms can also achieve the same effect and they do not cost as much as a full body mannequin.

As a clothing retail company or even if you are just selling your own items online, the image is your best weapon. Provide good quality pictures that show details of the material. Multiple pictures from different angles are also a bonus. Showing as much of the piece as possible is what a consumer requires. Everything can be done online and so customers also like to buy their apparel and accessories online. The main difference is that they can not touch the items and so the photo is their only way to get a sense of what the piece looks like.

There is a huge demand for this type of photography. The fashion industry is very lucrative and they are the main user of these types of photos. They invest a lot to get the best images of their stock because they know that the better quality photos will make the item more appealing to customers. The industry knows that if they can present it correctly, it will translate into a huge increase in sales and demand.

If you are an online seller or trying to build and grow a following, you need to provide buyers with good images. It needs to look the way you would see it in person. Learning tips and tricks to enhance the qualities of the material and bring out the details can be easy. You can even teach yourself by practicing the digital techniques. Pictures that have the right composition and lighting are absolutely necessary. Attention to detail is key. Obviously well pressed and zero creases are a must when doing ecommerce.
