How to Capture Quality Photos of Your Clothes Using Your Phone
Good photos of your pieces make your outfit flat lays look crisp, sized correctly, and true to color.
Where to Take Your Photos
- Use a phone with a good camera.
- Take photos during the day near a window or sliding door with plenty of natural light.
- Avoid direct sunlight. It changes how colors look.
Choosing a Background
- Pick a background that contrasts with the piece so the app can find the edges.
- A white sheet works well for most pieces, especially lace or jewelry. For white pieces, use a darker sheet.
Arranging Your Piece
- Smooth out wrinkles, tuck in the waist, and lay the sleeves naturally.
- Put the top of the piece closest to the light so shadows fall downward, like they would when you’re wearing it.
- Take the photo from directly above, not at an angle.
Editing Your Photo
Use your phone’s edit tool to adjust the color until it matches the piece in real life. Then save it.
Using a Photo From an Online Store
You can also use the store’s photo. See How to Add Pictures to Your Closet Items Using Screenshots.
Adding the Photo to Your Closet
- Go to My Closet.
- Tap Edit Info on the piece (or tap the three dots and tap Edit).
- Tap Upload and choose your photo.
- Tap Remove Background. The app removes the background and crops the photo to the edges of your piece.
- Add a Nickname, and the Store, Brand, and Product Link if you have them.
- Tap Save Changes.
