How to photograph Shorts

Lay it out like this

Lay flat and smooth, with no stretch across the fabric. Anything that pulls the seams distorts the fit the output will copy.

What the Studio needs to see

• The garment relaxed at its natural dimensions
• Seam lines and panelling visible — they define the fit
• Any logo, waistband or strap detail unobstructed

The back, always — this family is bought on rear fit as much as front.

Reference shots for this garment

Real shorts uploads from our own library. This is the framing, background and distance to aim for.

The rules that never change

• One garment per upload. Two garments in a frame produce a shot with two garments on one model.
• Plain, even background — a white sheet or a clean floor beats a patterned bed.
• Daylight, indirect. Direct sun blows out the highlights; a bulb overhead casts the fold shadows the model will inherit.
• Fill the frame. A garment occupying a fifth of the photo gives a fifth of the detail to work from.
• Shoot square-on. A photo taken at an angle bends the garment, and the output bends with it.
• JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 20MB.
