Who this is for
Ghost Mannequin Photography: Who We Work For
Invisible-mannequin shots suit particular sellers. Six situations account for most of the ghost mannequin / invisible mannequin photography work we see.
You are a good fit if
- You sell garments that show well on a form
- You prefer to know the price and the scope in writing
- You can arrange garments or guided capture
- You own the store and approve the final images
Fashion labels without a model budget
Form matters but a model shoot is out of reach.
Stores with large collections
A consistent shape standard helps shoppers compare.
Brands selling jackets and tops
Structure and collar shape drive decisions.
Marketplace sellers
Clean, hollow-form images suit common rules.
Boutiques replacing supplier images
Borrowed images look like everyone else's.
Founders short on time
You would rather hand over the garments and review finished images.
Problems solved
Why Ghost Mannequin Images Often Look Fake
The effect works only when the shaping and the editing are right. Owners describe these six problems more than any others.
- The inside looks flat.
The back of the neck is missing or pasted on.
- Shapes vary across the range.
Some garments are tight and others slack.
- Edges are rough.
Mannequin traces remain at the shoulders.
- Colour shifts in compositing.
Inside and outside do not match.
- Proportions look wrong.
Pinning pulls the garment out of shape.
- Labels are unreadable.
The inner tag is cut off or blurred.
