What is ghost mannequin photography?

Ghost mannequin photography shows clothing as if it is being worn, with no mannequin or model visible. It is also called the invisible mannequin or hollow man effect, and it is a standard look for clothing product photos.

Done by hand, it means dressing a mannequin, shooting the garment, shooting the inside of the collar separately, and combining the photos in Photoshop. With GenImagePro, you upload one clothing photo, choose Ghost mannequin, and download the result.
