Shirts product photography

The camera has to be professional, with a plethora of features, among which a macro lens. With it, you must use a tripod, the main function of which is creating clear photos with no “shaking hands” effect. If you need shirt product photography, you must also use high-quality lighting equipment. Apart from the light source itself, you need a holder, a soft box, and a radio synchronizer.

You can’t create quality shirt product photos without involving a professional photographer. A beginner will probably not be able to:
‍
• Create the right lighting
• Choose the right background
• Correctly position the product in the picture
• Make perfectly symmetrical photos
• Edit the photos

There exist three main product photography techniques which work best for e-commerce:

Flat lay photography.
This technique is most often used in men’s product photography, including shirts. In this technique, a photographer uses a flat horizontal surface to take 90-degree product photos. Flat lay is considered the most advantageous for standard-tailored products.

Hanger shot photography.
Generally, products are photographed at eye level. In essence, this technique mimics flat lay photography, but vertically. Such a technique is perfect for products which look best when on hangers or stands. This technique is not optimal for shirt product photography.

Model or mannequin photography.
This technique is ideal for creating a three-dimensional effect in your photos. In addition, photos made using this technique stimulate the imagination of your clients. They can picture in their minds, how exactly a shirt will look on them. This technique is perfect for designer shirt product photography. Your audience can view the product from all angles and appreciate its advantages.
