Ghost mannequin styling faqs

still have questions? here are the ones we answer all the time.

what is ghost mannequin styling?

Ghost mannequin refers to the post-production technique that removes a mannequin from a photo to achieve a seamless “floating” effect with your product. The final result showcases your products’ tailored shape and fit.

what apparel products work with ghost mannequins?

Tops:

  • shirts, blouses, sweaters, jackets, coats

Bottoms: 

  • jeans, trousers, shorts, skirts

Other:

  • dresses, underwear, socks, swimwear, hats

what are the mannequin measurements?

can I use a model instead of a mannequin?

For the “floating” ghost mannequin effect we recommend using one of our ghost mannequins with removable pieces that allow us to photograph your product consistently and efficiently. If you’d like a model showcased in the photo - we recommend booking a full body model.

can I use ghost mannequins for a video?

Ghost mannequins are a photo-based technique and are not available with our current video offering. However, we can stitch together several photos into a GIF or stop motion for a video-like effect.
