Ghost mannequin editing

Shoot the garment on a mannequin, so it keeps its shape. We take the mannequin out, put back the inside of the neck and the cuffs where the form was, and cut it out on white – the invisible-mannequin finish marketplaces and fashion sites use.

Studio out

Questions

How do I shoot for a ghost mannequin finish?

Dress a mannequin, square on, in soft even light, and shoot the front and the back from the same spot. If you can, add a shot of the inside of the neck with the garment turned round.

How much is a ghost mannequin edit?

It is a composite: $3.99 a photograph, including the cut out and the retouch.

Can you do it from a flat lay or a hanger?

Send it and ask: a garment that never had a form inside it may not have the shape to show, and we would rather say so than invent one.
