Essential Tool Must-Haves For Apparel Photographers

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.

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.

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. 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 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.

A cork board is also essential for the photographer's work. The cork board is useful when you are trying to attach a backdrop. When you are attaching a backdrop, you will be making use of the thumbtacks and pins here too.
