Choose a background
Pick a background for your AI photoshoot: studio white, Indian heritage and ethnic interiors, lifestyle, urban and luxury scenes, or upload your own background.
The background is where your clothing photoshoot takes place, from a plain studio to a city street or a haveli courtyard. In the Background step of Create Photo Shoot, you pick one background: a preset, one of your own backgrounds, or a background you describe in words.
The app's tip: a white studio for e-commerce, Lifestyle for social media and Urban for streetwear.
To see which of these options your plan includes, check Compare plans.
