Question 1

What is ghost mannequin photography?

Accepted Answer

Ghost mannequin photography is an apparel technique where garments are photographed on a mannequin and then composited in post-production so the mannequin disappears. You get a clean, dimensional product image that shows the fit and structure of the clothing without a visible body form.

Question 10

What is the difference between ghost mannequin and flat lay?

Accepted Answer

Flat lay clothing photography presents garments laid flat on a surface, while ghost mannequin photography gives clothing a more dimensional, worn shape. Ghost mannequin images feel more structured and premium in product grids and catalog pages. Both styles serve different needs and can be combined within a single catalog.
