Ghost Mannequin Photography, Generated
Ghost mannequin photography — the hollow-man shot — shows a garment holding its own shape with no body inside it. Traditionally it takes a mannequin, careful pinning, two or more exposures and a retoucher to composite them. Aeon generates it directly.
[ Start free ]The conventional method is fiddly and slow: shoot the garment on a mannequin, shoot the inside collar separately, then composite the two so the neck reads hollow.
It is a retouching cost on every single style, and it scales linearly with the size of the range.
Done badly it is obvious, and a bad hollow-man shot reads as a cheap listing.
Aeon produces the hollow-man result without a mannequin, a second exposure or a compositing pass.
Because the garment's construction is preserved, the collar, cuff and hem all behave the way that garment actually behaves.
It sits in the same pass as your on-model and flat lay frames, so one upload covers the whole listing.
What is a ghost mannequin photo?
A product shot where the garment holds its shape as if worn, but no body or mannequin is visible — sometimes called a hollow-man or invisible-mannequin shot. It is the standard format for apparel listings on most marketplaces.
Do I need an actual mannequin?
No. That is the step this removes, along with the second exposure and the compositing pass that normally follow it.
Can I get ghost mannequin and on-model from one upload?
Yes. Both come out of the same pass, along with flat lay, detail and e-commerce angles.
