To photograph kurtis at home with a phone, hang or lay each kurti flat against a plain wall or floor, shoot square-on in daylight from window light, and fill the frame. Take a front view, a back view and one close detail. Upload them to Catalogue Studio to see the kurti on a model.
How to photograph kurtis at home: set up
- 1. Find window light
Stand near a window with soft daylight, not direct sun on the cloth. Switch off yellow bulbs that change the colour.
- 2. Choose a plain background
A plain wall or a clean sheet on the floor. Remove chairs and other clutter, and avoid shadows where you can.
- 3. Smooth the kurti
Press out creases. For a hung kurti, close the neck and button it; for a flat one, spread the sleeves evenly.
- 4. Shoot square-on
Hold the phone level, at the middle of the kurti, with the kurti filling the frame. Do not tilt; a tilted photo is repeated in every result.
- 5. Take the extra views
A back view, and one close picture of the neckline, print or embroidery.
- 6. Check the colour
Compare the photo on your phone with the real kurti in daylight, and retake it if the colour is off.
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow or blue colour | Room bulbs or tube lights | Shoot by a window in daylight |
| Creased look | Unpressed cloth | Steam or iron it first |
| Tilted kurti | Phone held at an angle | Hold the phone level and shoot square-on |
| Shadow behind the kurti | Kurti too close to the wall | Move the kurti a little away or use window light from the side |
| Blurred print | Shaky hand or too far away | Move closer or rest your elbows on a surface |
From the photo to a model picture
Open Catalogue Studio, add the kurti photo, choose a model and a style, and check the batch summary. Choose Instant (1–2 min), Standard (3–4 min, 2K) or Budget (5–10 min); the price shows on each button before you pay. Then compare the result with the real kurti.
How do I photograph a kurti with my phone?
Hang or lay it flat against a plain background, shoot square-on in window daylight, fill the frame and take front, back and detail views.
Should I photograph a kurti flat or hanging?
Either works. Pick the one where the kurti sits smooth and the shape shows clearly.
Do I need a tripod?
No, but resting your elbows or the phone on a stable surface helps keep the photo sharp and level.
What file type should I upload?
JPG, PNG or WebP up to 20 MB, up to 4 photos per garment.
Can I use a photo with a mannequin?
Anything else in the frame can end up in the result, so a plain background without a mannequin works best.
How many photos of each kurti do I need?
One clean front photo is enough to start. Add back, side and a detail if you have them.
Will the result match my kurti exactly?
It is made from your photo, but small differences in colour or print scale can occur. Check each picture against the real kurti.
