By Shirley Williams


There are several common mistakes which most of photographers do not pay key attention to. Yet, figuring out how to display the images in an appealing and fascinating way is the essential goal of every clothing photographer. This makes it necessary to learn common pitfalls in this profession and strive to avoid them. This way, you are sure to come up with exceptional images that your clients will be proud to own.

It is important to be keen about the effect of lighting on the images. Having the appropriate lighting enables the image captured to have unique facets of the garments. Sufficient light makes it possible for you to capture excellent images with less interference and more sharpness. To ensure that you have ample lighting, you can rent lighting equipment at a cheaper cost. However, if renting equipment is not in your budget you can as well use natural light from large window and a reflector panel.

On the same, you have to make sure that the camera settings are properly done. Even with the best quality of the camera and excellent expertise of the professional, it calls for the right settings on your equipment to get impeccable images. In this case, ensure that the camera is configured correctly by investing in some knowledge about ISO, aperture and white balance. The ISO settings should not be higher than 600-640 otherwise; the images quality will be compromised.

On the same, the larger the aperture, the more the aspect of your image will be focused. You need to set your aperture to be more than f/11. In the same breath, set the white balance according to the light or automatic for the camera to decide.

Moreover, as seasoned photographer you need to convert your images in web-ready color space profile. The color space profile include; adobe RGB, CMYK and SRGB. In the event that your images are not edited to appropriate color space profile, they will not appear consistently in various screens, browsers and sites used to view them. This conversion should be done after working through the images to make them appealing and awesome. It is advisable to convert them to SRGB which can be used across all the platforms without distorting and maintaining the value of your images.

Make sure to edit the images carefully and thoroughly. Some editing processes include cropping, changing background, and determining the color and alignment. Alignment done to all the products of the images should be of the same size. At the same time, the angles, edges, and corners are aligned to one another.

Besides, you should crop product image identically, to improve image quality on the different platforms in which it will be viewed. Moreover, you have to crop your image to the size in regard to image specification and attribute of the website in they are uploaded.

Lastly, the background style should be consistent on all the images. This makes the images to look appealing, attractive and presented in a professional way. The recommended backgrounds are both white and light grey which look elegant. Moreover, garments colors must be presented accurately. Since camera cannot capture some colors like neon and some shades of green you will be required to use photoshop to tweak the colors of your images.
