Use Black, White, Or Grey Backdrops for Online Photos

This will help maintain bright lighting, dissuade distractions and ensure accurate color captures. You can use a white wall or a smooth sheet. In addition, for a little more money, you can buy a roll of seamless paper from a photoshop.

Use A Digital Camera

Using a DSLR to photograph your items will make them look even more professional. A larger number of megapixels will capture more of the clothing’s color and finer details. Set the ISO to no higher than 600-640 to avoid graininess. Set the aperture above F/11 to keep all the details of the garment focused. It is also important to note that you need to take pictures from various angles. For more basic camera setting tips, click here.

You can also use a smartphone to take photos. When using clear, natural lighting, smartphone photos will look beautiful and get the job done. Use your phone to view the product side by side with a sunny window. Focus on the angles, change the luminosity, then take the pictures.

You Can Hire A Model

Looking at the model’s clothes or products gives the customer a better understanding of what the gears will look like in real life. Often, a successful model could cater more directly to your target market. You could also ask a friend to help you with the modeling. If you’re great with your camera and the self-timer, you might even be able to model your own goods to save money!

You can also use a mannequin if you’re selling clothes and other garments. Mannequins are a great investment that can help you make your photos reliable and keep your budget small for the future. At any time, you could set up the mannequin and take pictures without paying for or designing a pattern. Mannequins also allow customers to visualize wearing the items.
