To photograph a lehenga at home for Drape Studio, take three separate photos: the skirt fabric, the blouse fabric and the dupatta fabric. Lay each flat on a plain floor, shoot square-on in daylight, and fill the frame with the cloth. Then upload them to Drape Studio to see the lehenga on a model.
How to photograph lehengas at home: the three photos
| Photo | What to show | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Skirt | The skirt fabric with its border and print | Spread it flat; keep the hem and border in view |
| Blouse | The blouse fabric only | Crop tightly so no skirt or dupatta shows |
| Dupatta | The dupatta fabric and its border | Lay it flat and straight; fold only if it will not hide the design |
- 1. Clear a plain floor
A clean sheet or plain floor, near a window. Remove other cloth from the frame.
- 2. Use window daylight
Soft daylight shows true colour and zari. Avoid flash and yellow bulbs.
- 3. Lay each part flat
Press out creases and straighten the edges so the weave runs level.
- 4. Shoot square-on
Hold the phone level above the cloth. A tilted photo makes a tilted print.
- 5. Add one close photo of the embroidery
Useful as your own reference when you check the result.
- 6. Compare with the real piece
Look at the colour on your screen next to the cloth in daylight, and retake if they differ.
