The Challenge
Independent fashion retailers and small apparel brands face an impossible equation: compelling product photography drives sales, but professional shoots are prohibitively expensive.
- Professional model shoots: $2,000-$8,000 per session
- Studio rental: $500-$1,500/day
- Hair/makeup: $300-$800
- Post-production editing: $50-$150 per final image
- Seasonal campaigns require 4-6 shoots annually
"We'd save up for one professional shoot per season, get maybe 30-40 usable photos, and by week three they'd already feel stale. Meanwhile, our competitors with bigger budgets were posting fresh content daily."
The Solution
Fashion retailers now upload simple product photos (flat lay, mannequin, or hanger) and receive:
One product photo adapted for six distinct demographic segments instantly.
