On-model photography

Also known as model photography, on-model. Category: Photography techniques

On-model photography shows clothing or accessories worn by a live model. It shows fit, drape and scale in a realistic way, at the cost of more organisation and less consistency than mannequin or flat lay shots.

How PhotoRobot uses it

The PhotoRobot Virtual Catwalk is designed for filming and photographing dozens of models a day in 360 degrees in a small studio, and PhotoRobot tutorials cover how to photograph and film models.

  • Virtual Catwalk: PhotoRobot rotating platform with a treadmill belt that lets models walk an infinite runway for 360 fashion video.
  • Ghost mannequin effect: An editing technique that makes the mannequin disappear so the garment looks worn by an invisible body.
  • Flat lay: Photographing products laid flat on a surface from directly above.
  • Lifestyle photography: Product photos showing the product in use or in a real-world setting.
