Essential Tool Must-Haves For Apparel Photographers

By Lessie Kaufman


When a professional wants to do a good job at his or her work, then he or she will need some tools for it. There are certainly a number of tools that professionals will find useful in their work. This is especially true when it comes to apparel photographers. They have tools they need for their profession. Here are a few examples of those tools.

First, there is a need for the said professional to prepare a steamer. You can say that this is a necessity for this professional, considering that this is what will give the clothes a voluminous appearance. It should be helpful for heavier fabrics too. You have to use a steamer with a consistent steam flow.

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.

Fills. The fills are vital to the said pictorial because they are used for filling up mannequins that are used as models for the said event. With the fills, you can make the model look more plump. It should be easy to put the clothes and make it look gorgeous on the picture if you add the right fill.

You also need a clear tubing. The said item is easy to purchase. You simply have to go to the hardware store, at the plumbing section. The clear tubing is particularly helpful in forming the shape of the sleeves. You can use this as a filling for the sleeves to make it more 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.
