How to do Apparel Photography with Ghost Mannequin Effect 

Hi David, thanks for reaching out! Thats a great question! The camera connects to laptop via USB - and for the software, we use a program called Shutter Stream Product Photography Software. Additional info on this software ca be found here:www.iconasys.com/product-photography-software/

Thanks Susan. Of course! We purchased this from Roxy Display (Website link: www.roxydisplayinc.com)

Thanks for reaching out Lexi! Correct, this type of mannequin (called a ghost mannequin or invisible mannequin) has removeable parts (ex. neck, arms, shoulders, chest etc..) and is often used for apparel photography. We had purchased this mannequin from: www.roxydisplayinc.com/

Thanks for the feedback Joacim! We got our mannequin from Roxy Display. Please see link here: www.roxydisplayinc.com/webpage/mannequins/invisible.html Let us know if any follow up questions :)

Its really all dependent on the mannequin you are shooting with. For example, you might be able to automate the entire process if using a clear acrylic mannequin. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at: contact@iconasys.com. Thank you!

Thanks for the comment Raven! The software can integrate with iPhone and Android phones the same way it does with the Canon camera in this video. Meaning you will place your smartphone on a tripod and control image capture via desktop (wireless connection from computer to your phone camera). As soon as an image is captured, it is uploaded to the computer - into the shutter stream software for image editing, processing and output. If any follow up questions, please email us at: contact (at) iconasys.com

Hi Matthew! Thanks for the comment. In this video we are using a Canon Rebel T6s camera. Any entry level DSLR or Mirrorless camera from Canon, Sony or Nikon will do a great job!!! Price points for Canon Rebel cameras (ex. Rebel T6 or T7) start at about $350 with a lens. Let us know if there is any follow up questions. Thanks!

Iconasys Hey, would you recommend using green screens at all, for example if you are shooting a white t shirt?

Thanks for reaching out. The material is white paper! We do include backdrops with our LED Studio Lighting Kits (additional info here: www.iconasys.com/product-photography-lighting/led-studio-lighting-kits/) Saying that, tne most important part here is the lighting - using a high key technique to blow out the background.

In this video we're using the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM

Thanks for the comment Arif! We appreciate your feedback. The software purchase is for a perpetual license - meaning there is no mandatory recurring fees unless a user decides to upgrade. The software improvements and enhancements do cost us money (we have our full time development team on staff) and the optional software upgrade fee helps us cover these internal costs.

Thanks Zandria!
