# Product shots (https://docs.apparelai.app/product-shots)

Use product shots when you need images of the garment on its own, with no model, such as flat lay product photos and close-ups. They go next to your on-model photos: the model photos show how the garment looks when worn, and the product shots show the details buyers zoom into.

## What you can make [#what-you-can-make]

| Product shot | What you get |
| --- | --- |
| [Blouse Flat Lay](/product-shots/blouse) | The blouse alone on a white background, with sleeve and neckline options |
| [Blouse Front & Back](/product-shots/blouse) | The front and back of the blouse on an invisible mannequin, in one image |
| [Saree Border Detail](/product-shots/saree-details) | A close-up of the border embroidery |
| [Pallu Flat Lay](/product-shots/saree-details) | The pallu spread flat, with its full design visible |
| [Shirt Flat Lay & Folded](/product-shots/shirt) | Flat and folded e-commerce shirt shots, front or back view |
| [Color Variant](/product-shots/color-variant) | An existing catalog photo recolored from photos of new fabric, with the same model, pose and framing |
| [Fabric Swatch and Ghost Mannequin](#product-shots-for-everyday-garments) | **Fabric Swatch**, **Ghost Mannequin Front**, **Ghost Mannequin Back** and **Ghost Mannequin Side**, for everyday garments such as dresses |

Color Variant is the odd one out. Instead of making a new garment-only image, it recolors a catalog photo you already have and keeps its model, pose and framing. To recolor from a hex code or color name rather than a fabric photo, use [AI Color Variation](/ai-tools/color-variation).

To make invisible-mannequin shots straight from a hanger, flat lay or on-model photo, without a photoshoot first, use [AI Ghost Mannequin](/ai-tools/ghost-mannequin) in AI Tools.

## Product shots for everyday garments [#product-shots-for-everyday-garments]

Product shots for everyday garments start from a finished photoshoot, in the **PRODUCT SHOTS** list on the left of the **Photo Shoot Result** page (see [Make a product shot](#make-a-product-shot)). The list depends on the garment. For a dress, it has:

- **Color Variant:** the same photo in a new colorway, made from a photo of the garment in its new color. The panel shows the estimated credits before you start, such as 2 credits for one photo at **HD - 2K**. See [Color variant](/product-shots/color-variant).
- **Fabric Swatch**
- **Ghost Mannequin Front**
- **Ghost Mannequin Back**
- **Ghost Mannequin Side**



## Build a complete listing [#build-a-complete-listing]

Model photos sell the look. Product shots answer what buyers check before they buy: how the border looks up close, what the full pallu looks like, how the blouse is cut.

For a saree, one set of photos gives you a full listing:

1. An on-model hero photo, from [Saree Mode](/garment-modes/saree).
2. More on-model photos in other poses, such as **Back Drape** for the back of the saree.
3. A Saree Border Detail close-up.
4. A Pallu Flat Lay.
5. A Blouse Front & Back or a Blouse Flat Lay.

For every other colorway of the same design, use Color Variant to make matching photos.

## Make a product shot [#make-a-product-shot]

On the web, you make product shots from a finished photoshoot:

<Steps>
<Step>
### Open the shoot [#open-the-shoot]

Click **Projects** in the sidebar, open the project, and click **Edit in Studio**. The **Photo Shoot Result** page opens.
</Step>
<Step>
### Pick a product shot [#pick-a-product-shot]

Under **PRODUCT SHOTS** in the left panel, click the shot you want. Each one has a one-line description.
</Step>
<Step>
### Set it up [#set-it-up]

**Color Variant**, for example, opens a panel: add a photo of the garment in its new color, choose the photos to recolor under **Apply To**, pick a **Resolution**, and check the **Est.** credits at the bottom before you start.
</Step>
</Steps>

For a saree, you don't need new photos: the same body, pallu and blouse photos you add in Saree Mode also give you the saree and blouse product shots.



For how credits work, see [How credits work](/getting-started/credits).

## Check before you publish [#check-before-you-publish]

Look at each shot before you upload it to a marketplace: a clean background, the garment filling the frame, accurate color, and no visible flaws around necklines and hems. To export at marketplace size, see [Download and export](/library/download-and-export).
