Prepping hundreds of items for your next big Shopify drop or seasonal launch can feel a bit overwhelming, but smooth studio logistics make all the difference that’s where Capture Factory can help. When you are running a high-volume e-commerce apparel shoot, having an experienced production team behind you is the ultimate cheat code.
Handing your stock over to our dedicated studio team keeps things moving fast, cuts down your production costs, and gets your edited images back to you much quicker.
Here is our simple guide to how we handle your collection seamlessly at our Brighton studio.
1. Hand Off Your Inventory to Us
We know how busy sample launches get, which is why we handle the tedious garment preparation for you. Simply send or drop off your collection at our studio, and our experienced production crew takes care of the rest.
From stubborn silks and heavy denim to tailored outerwear, our team unpacks, steams, and meticulously prepares every item so it looks flawless on camera. We unpack, sort, and tag your items by style and colourway upon arrival, keeping your shoot moving efficiently without you having to lift a finger.
Our stylists select the ideal mannequin sizes and apply precision pinning and clipping techniques to ensure every garment hangs perfectly. Once shot, we neatly repack your samples back into their original packaging or wardrobe boxes, ready for seamless return transport.
2. Pick the Best Shoot Style for Your Brand
Different types of clothing need different setups to showcase their fit, shape, and fabric to your customers.
Ghost Mannequin (Invisible Mannequin): This option works best for tailored suits, structured dresses, gym wear, and heavy jackets. It creates a natural 3D shape without needing a model, giving shoppers a clear look at inner linings, collars, and structural seams.
Flatlay Photography: This style is ideal for casual tees, knitwear, loungewear, denim, and kids’ clothes. It gives a clean, laid-back, minimalist look that sits brilliantly on Instagram feeds and modern Shopify store grids.
Model Photography: Perfect for high-fashion lookbooks, lifestyle brand campaigns, and premium e-commerce stores. Model shots show off real movement, fit, and styling, helping buyers picture themselves wearing your brand.
3. Nail Your Shot List and Image Specs
Having clear guidelines lets our photographers fly through your stock without any guesswork.
Start by building a master shot list that details every SKU alongside the specific angles you need, such as front, back, side detail, or fabric close-ups.
Let our digital team know your website specs early on—whether you need square crops for grid layouts or vertical ratios for mobile templates.
Finally, mention any tricky fabrics like sheer lace, neon trims, or shiny satin so our lighting team can get exact colour matching right from shot one.
