Catalogue pictures from phone photos, for shops with no studio
A studio shoot for four hundred designs costs more than most shops will ever spend on photography. Here is how shops on our system get catalogue pictures from a phone instead.
Photograph the garment, not a setup
Your team lays the saree out and photographs it with a phone: full length, border, pallu, body fabric, blouse piece. Close ups are the truth about what each part is made of; the full length is the truth about shape and size. No lightbox, no tripod, no studio.
The system builds the pictures
From those photos it builds a clean catalogue picture of the garment on white, and a picture of the saree worn by a model, draped properly. The model picture is made from the finished catalogue picture, so the two always show the same saree.
It checks its own work
Every built picture is compared against your photographs by the system itself: the colours, the border, the blouse, the motifs. If something is wrong it rebuilds the picture once with the correction, and looks again. When it still is not satisfied, it says so on the design's card, so you look closely before approving. It also measures how far each picture's colour sits from your photograph, on every build.
You approve everything
No picture reaches a customer until the shop owner approves it. That is a promise printed at the top of the upload screen, and the system keeps it even when the owner is in a hurry. Photos are never lost either: if a build fails, your originals are kept and one tap retries every failure.
What this replaces
For a shop with hundreds of designs, this replaces the studio shoot you were never going to book, and it feeds the same pictures to your try on screen, so a customer can see any design on herself the day you photograph it.
Bring forty sarees and a phone to the free hour and watch the catalogue build itself while your customers try things on.
