# Shirt flat lay and folded shots (https://docs.apparelai.app/product-shots/shirt)

Make garment-only shirt images for your store or marketplace listings: a shirt flat lay or a folded shirt, in front or back view. Use them next to your on-model shirt photos, or wherever your listing template asks for flat and folded shots.

## Your choices [#your-choices]

- **Style:** flat lay or folded.
- **View:** front or back.



## Prepare your shirt photo [#prepare-your-shirt-photo]

The result follows the shirt you photograph, so get it in shape first:

- Fasten the buttons, straighten the collar and square the shoulders.
- Steam out fold lines. They can show up as creases.
- Shoot straight-on, not at an angle, so the pattern isn't distorted.
