Essential Tool Must-Haves For Apparel Photographers

By Lessie Kaufman


Professionals have tools that they need to use when they are working. The tools are necessary for them to either make their work more efficient or to provide quality outputs. No professionals is exempted from this fact. Even apparel photographers need tools for their work. Here are some of the tools that they will most likely use.

Steamer. It is indeed imperative for a photographer to have the steamer at his or her disposal. The steamer will help the clothes get back their refreshed look, especially during the morning. It is also the best tool to use when you want to put in more volume to the clothes, especially when those clothes have heavy fabrics.

You should get a clothing rack. The more clothing rack you have, the better. When it comes to the clothing rack, you have to make sure that it is durable and can handle any fabric you hang in it. When you are choosing the clothing rack, pick the one with the rollers so that it will be easier for you to move it from place to place.

Another tool that you need for this is the lint brush. This is the tool that will allow you to keep the fabric of the clothes you are taking a picture of to be dust and debris-free. You can use the lint brush to remove the stray hairs, loose threads, dust, and other unidentifiable things that are too many to mention.

Shears or scissors. Whenever you need to cut off loose threads and even the price tag of the clothes that you are trying to get a photo of, the best tool that you should use for that is either the shears or the scissors. Both of these items have the purpose of cutting. It helps you easily get rid of loose threads and tags.

Pins is another essential item for you. You have to keep all types of pins in your drawer. There are many types of pins that you should be able to use in this work. Some of the perfect examples of the said pins are the bobby pins, thumbtacks, safety pins, and sewing pins. You will come to need these pins at some point at work.

There is a need for you to get some fill too. This is meant to fill and plump up some clothes, especially those that were used on mannequins. The mannequins might be too plain and there might be no life in them so you better use the right filling to liven things up. You can use gift wraps, foams, and even clear plastic bags for this.

Clear tubing. You also have to make sure to get the clear tubing at your disposal. Normally, the clear tubing can be found in the hardware store. It should be at the plumbing section. When you have the clear tubing, you can easily form the shape at the sleeves. It should make the sleeves look shapely.

There is a need for you to obtain a cork board. You can say that this is also an essential for a photographer's work. When you have a cork board, it should be easy for you to put up a backdrop behind the article of clothing that you are taking a picture of.
