Tools Apparel Photographers Should Bring To Work

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.

There is the steamer. It should already be obvious but the said tool is needed so that you can quickly refresh the morning wardrobe. This should help work in more volume to fabrics. It works best with heavier fabrics too. You need at least a 1200 watts steamer that provides a consistent flow of steam when turned on.

Clothing racks. You need a few clothing racks for your work. This is where you will be hanging the clothes you will be taking a photo of. When it comes to the clothing racks, you should buy more than one of it. Not only that, it will be beneficial for you to buy clothing racks with rollers because these are easier to move from one location to another.

Lint brush. It is only natural for the professional who is working with clothes to get a lint brush. After all, the lint brush is very effective in removing unidentifiable things that have clung to the clothes. With the lint brush, it should be easy to keep the clothes debris and dust-free. You can also remove stray hairs and loose threads with this.

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. This is another essential to have when you are working in this field. You simply have to keep the pins in the drawer or in a box. When the time comes for you to need them, then you can easily take them out. The pins that will usually come in handy for this work are the safety pins, sewing pins, thumbtacks, and bobby pins.

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 need a clear tubing as well. It should be easy to find the clear tubing at the hardware store, specifically at the plumbing section. You can say that this is one of the great tools to have to add structure to the dress you are taking a picture of. You can use this when filling the sleeves and even giving them shape.

Cork board. You need a cork board when you need a backdrop. You can easily add a backdrop behind the piece of clothing by pinning the backdrop on the cork board. This is where you will find the thumbtacks handy.
