Shooting Clothing Product

[gjn001]

I am shooting tee shirts for an online catalog and I am just looking for any tips and advice I can get to help. In particular I am wondering how to achieve a great shot like this. The invisible person effect and nice lighting.



Also how to make black not look really flat and show texture.
Any advice at all on this subject of shooting clothing product shots would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance!

Ron,

Sorry, I guess I didn't even really think about it.

I just recently graduated from a college in Iowa and am now working in the Omaha, NE area. I am the lead web designer and marketer for an online catalog company.

As part of this job I am shooting a lot of product shots for catalog as well as online use. I have a good background of photography through school, however, I love to learn new things.

My true love is graphic design, but I fell into photography through learning this trade and have really enjoyed it.
