Also called invisible mannequin or hollow man. We shoot the garment on a mannequin and edit the mannequin out, so it holds its own shape with nobody inside it — the neck, the cuffs and the inner collar all finished.

How it works
Four steps, and you never have to come in.
01
Build the shoot online
List your products, pick an image type for each, attach references and set your output specs. The running total updates as you build, so you see the price before you send anything.
02
Send it — nothing to pay yet
A shoot request arrives with us unpaid. We read it, come back with questions if something does not add up, and send an invoice.
03
Get your products to Brooklyn
Ship from anywhere in the US, or drop off at the studio. You tell us up front whether they come back, get donated, or are discarded.
04

Finished images land in a gallery of your own. Favourite the frames you want, download the JPGs or the layered files, and share the link.

Questions we get asked
What is a ghost mannequin shot?
The garment is photographed on a mannequin and the mannequin is then removed in editing, so the piece keeps its shape and structure with no model and no hanger. It is the standard ecommerce shot for anything that needs to look worn without a person in it.
Do you shoot the inner neck and collar?
Yes — that is what separates a ghost shot from a cut-out. The garment is shot more than once so the inside of the neck can be composited in, and that work is inside the $69.
How fast do I get the images?
Ten business days on the free Pay As You Go plan, and seven, five, four or three business days on a paid membership. The clock starts when your payment lands, not when you send the request, so a bank transfer that takes two days moves the date with it.
Is there a minimum order?
Two, and both are real. Pay As You Go has a five-image minimum per order, which every paid membership removes. Separately, any order containing model photography or model video needs twenty model deliverables, and that one applies on every plan including paid ones — a model shoot books a person for the day whatever the frame count.
How do I get my products to you?
Ship from anywhere in the US, or drop off at 55 Meadow Street in Brooklyn — call ahead on (646) 846-7776 to book a time. Send them after you have requested the shoot rather than before, so we can match the box to the order.
What happens to my products afterwards?
You choose when you request the shoot: returned, donated or discarded. If we are buying the return label you see an estimate while you build, and pay the real carrier rate when you pick the service.
