In this blog, I will be sharing with you some useful tips for e-commerce businesses on how to plan a successful clothing photo shoot with the right approach.
I have had many years of experience in successfully covering a wide range of projects in the Greater Toronto Area and I would very much like to help e-commerce website owners with their businesses. It is for this reason that I thought of sharing the above tips with all you e-commerce storeowners out there in hope that these tips will help you gain some insights into what constitutes the right approach for clothing photography.
A majority of potential customers are driven or attracted to a “Displayed Product” appearance. This in turn has led to the importance of product photography as an essential aspect of building strong e-commerce sales by attracting more online customers to making purchases.
In order to help e-commerce business owners, I will go through a few useful tips on how to plan a successful clothing photo shoot and on how to obtain high quality product images.
1. Hiring Professional Models
I strongly recommend working with professional models. For clothing photography shoots, it has proven to be the most effective way of presentation. The model(s) can strike a perfect pose at various camera angles that can accentuate your line of clothing in the shots taken by a highly experienced photographer. Your clothing products will take on a personality of their own that is reflected in the images. This can help attract huge number of online customers.
2. Consider the use of Mannequins
Displaying a product in its realistic form is quite essential in product photography as it helps to engage your customers. Online shoppers are more likely to buy a clothing item if they can visualize or imagine how the apparel would look on them when they wear it. To help them make such visualization, I highly recommend using a mannequin that can give your clothing product a “realistic human shape”. The ultimate aim of this is to help online shoppers imagining themselves wearing the clothing, which in turn can enhance their desire to make the purchase.
Note: The use of “armless” mannequins should always be used for shooting strapless clothing and we must also ensure that the mannequin is standing straight-on while we are shooting.
3. Add 3-D Effect:
For clothing photo shoot, your photographer can add a three-dimensional effect to the product by using a “ghost mannequin” approach. This effect will give your final image a 3-D appearance as if the item is floating on an invisible ghost. These 3-D product images can be then be displayed at different angles in a very beautiful (or visually stunning) way.
4. Positioning the clothing on a plain flat surface
This is the most basic type of presentation that can be used for lower budget projects. To view a few examples, please click on Fashion and Accessories
