# How to Take Good Pictures of Clothing for Display Racks

High-quality product photography is essential for showcasing clothing effectively on display racks. Poor lighting, awkward angles, or cluttered backgrounds can deter customers. Follow these expert tips to capture professional images that highlight your merchandise.

1. Optimize Lighting for Clarity

- Use natural light near windows for soft, even illumination.

- Avoid harsh shadows with diffused artificial lighting (e.g., softboxes or ring lights).

- Maintain consistent white balance to ensure true-to-life colors.

2. Choose the Right Background

- Use neutral backdrops (white, gray, or black) to keep focus on the clothing.

- Ensure display racks are clean and free of distractions (e.g., hanger hooks or tags).

- For lifestyle shots, use minimalist store interiors for context.

3. Highlight Garment Details

- Capture close-ups of fabric texture, stitching, and embellishments.

- Show multiple angles (front, back, side) for a complete view.

- Use a mannequin or model to demonstrate fit and drape.

4. Use Proper Camera Settings

- Shoot in manual mode for better control over exposure.

- Set a high aperture (f/8 or above) to keep the entire garment in focus.

- Use a tripod to avoid blurry images.
