Initial Photos Tips and Best Practices

Choose and Prepare Your Photo

You have options for your photo source:

  • Use a photo from previous photoshoots

  • Upload a photo of yourself (or another model) wearing the product

When selecting or uploading a photo, ensure:

  • The product is clearly visible without any accessories or hair obscuring it.

  • The photo is well-lit for optimal quality.

Samples

A cropped necklace on someone:

AI can't accurately recreate the missing parts of your product. Ensure the necklace is fully visible and not cropped in the uploaded photos.

A sweater on a white background:

It’s important to upload photos of products worn on a human model. This helps AI represent the product’s size and fit accurately. Avoid flat lay or cut-out images.

A necklace on a white background:

Necklaces should be worn on a real person for accurate results. Avoid using standalone product images on plain backgrounds.

A product on a white background:

It’s important to upload photos of products worn on a human model. This helps AI represent the product’s size and fit accurately. Avoid flat lay or cut-out images.

Earrings on a white background:

Earrings should be shown on a real model for accurate representation. Avoid using standalone product photos on plain backgrounds.

Sunglasses on a white background:

Sunglasses should be shown on a model’s face. AI cannot fully replicate fit or style from plain product photos.

Accessory on a white background:

Accessories should be displayed on a model—whether in hair, hands, or clothing. This provides the AI with essential context for realistic visuals.

A blurry photo:

The product or photo should not be blurred. Ensure the photo is clear and focused on the product. AI cannot clarify blurry images.

Cropped fingers in a photo:

Cropped fingers may not be accurately completed by AI. Upload full images to avoid issues.

A dark photo:

Avoid photos taken in darkness, dim light, or with shadows. Use well-lit photos to achieve the best results.

A photo with a mixed background:

Use plain and simple backgrounds. This helps AI interpret the image correctly and maintain focus on the product.

A product touching clothing:

Model or color changes cannot be applied where the product contacts clothing. Ensure the area around the product remains unchanged.

A distant photo:

Photos taken from far away may not produce accurate results. Upload close-up images for better outcomes.

A necklace touching clothing:

The product should not touch the clothing. When brushing near the necklace, changes in clothing may damage or distort the product’s appearance.

A person wearing glasses:

If the glasses on the model are not intended to appear in the final photo, please ensure the uploaded image is taken without glasses.

Tips

  • Clear and Bright Lighting: Ensure the product is well-lit in a bright environment. Avoid shadows on the product and do not shoot in dim, yellowish indoor lighting.

  • Plain Background: Use a simple, solid-colored background for the product photo.

  • Full Product Visibility: The product should be fully visible on the model; AI will not complete any missing parts.

  • Close-Up Shots: Take close-up shots to capture facial details clearly, ensuring the model's face appears well-defined.

  • No Accessories Covering Face: Avoid hats or sunglasses on the model. Eyes should be clearly visible.

  • No Overlapping Elements: Ensure that hair, clothing, or other accessories do not overlap or cover any part of the product.

  • Skin Tone Consistency for Jewelry: For jewelry, select a model with a skin tone that closely matches the desired output. For example, avoid using a model with light skin if the AI output is meant to showcase the product on a darker-skinned model.

  • Earring Position: Decide on the angle for earrings in advance (profile or frontal view) as AI will replicate the given angle.

  • Color Matching for Bags: When taking photos with bags, the model's clothing near the bag should match the intended output colors. For example, if the bag is against dark pants, avoid choosing a very light-colored bottom for the AI output.

  • Rings and Hands: For rings, ensure the model's fingers are close together, and the hand is fully visible within the frame without being cropped.
