Ghost mannequin

Ghost mannequin

Also known as invisible mannequin, invisible ghost mannequin. Category: Hardware

A ghost mannequin is a photography mannequin whose neck, arms, shoulders or torso sections can be removed. Garments keep a natural, body-shaped fit, and the visible mannequin parts are removed or replaced in post-production so the clothing appears to be worn by an invisible model.

How PhotoRobot uses it

PhotoRobot sells its own ghost mannequins for men, women and children in full-body, 3/4 torso, half-body torso and leg forms. They are made of FRP with a glare-reducing matte white finish, most models have detachable (often magnetised) pieces and a steel base on wheels, and they mount on the CUBE for rotation during 360 photography.
