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.

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.

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.

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 are pretty important as well. The fills are particularly used in plumping up clothes, especially when the clothes are put on mannequins. If it is just the mannequins, the clothes will not look as lovely as it is when a real life model wears it. The fills should help eliminate that plain effect.

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.
