Ghost mannequin photography creates a hollow, three-dimensional look that allows fashion shoppers to visualize garment fit and draping without the distraction of physical models or plastic mannequins. We combine multiple exposures of the front, back, and inner labels into seamless, ready-to-publish assets.
How Ghost Mannequin Editing Works
Shoot the Front: Photographer captures the garment styled on a plastic or wire mannequin.
Shoot the Inner Collar: The garment is turned inside out or the mannequin is removed to capture the neck label and inner lining.
Composite Assembly: In Photoshop, senior artists cut out the mannequin, seamlessly merge the inner collar behind the front neckline, and reconstruct shadow depth.
Key Factors Impacting Pricing
Symmetrical t-shirts and polo shirts are typically priced between $0.60 and $0.90 per image. Complex garments with sheer lace, layered trench coats, or asymmetrical hems require multi-joint manipulation and run between $1.20 and $2.00.
