Make your apparel shine. Outsource ghost mannequin edits instead of struggling to do it yourself.
It’s easy to turn browsers into buyers when your customers can imagine themselves wearing your products. And when budgets and timelines are tight, mannequins are the perfect substitute for live models.
Until you get to the tedious edits. To edit out a mannequin, you have to piece together multiple photos, add depth, increase volume, and give it just enough texture to create a convincing product photo. All that attention takes way too much time when you could be focusing on your passion: your business.
Combine your mannequin photography with our detailed edits, and make that sweater look perfectly fitted instead of frumpy.
We expertly edit each ghost mannequin project by hand, to bring your clothing and accessories to life.
Apparel photography without dimension makes your products look flat, and customers love to see how the product is meant to be worn in real life. But coordinating live models can be expensive, and mannequins can distract from your products in photos.
Smart fashion retailers keep it simple: they use a mannequin to showcase products, and then edit the mannequin out of their photos.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how the ghost mannequin editing process works:
For ghost mannequins that aren’t manipulated at the neck joint, like pants, watches and hats, we can edit the apparel to add natural volume and texture.
Ghost mannequins are great for keeping a consistent look in your product thumbnails, especially if you don’t have live models for every image on your site.
Depending on your brand, we recommend a combination of ghost mannequin and live models. Live models add some human-ness to your products, and put them into context for consumers. Ultimately, it’s up to you!

Ghost mannequin pricing depends on the complexity of each edit. Every image is different, but we follow standard pricing guidelines to make sure your rate is always clear and objective, even if you’re working with a different designer.
There are only two pricing categories for ghost mannequins: simple or complex. Here’s an overview of how we categorize each image:
The simplest ghost mannequin projects involve joining an article of clothing at one place, for example the neck of a t-shirt.
More complex ghost mannequin projects require joining multiple parts of an item of clothing, for example neckline and sleeves, or waistband and leg holes. These are also necessary for clothing that comes in more than one piece (a bathing suit, for example) or apparel with cutouts.
