Fashion photographs must be of high quality and show every little detail of the garment so that, from the first image, the buyer is attracted to it. But, in order to feel this attraction, it is also essential that each image shows the essence of the product, and this is achieved with an adequate scenography, light, colors, shots, etc. In this sense, it is not simply a matter of taking a picture of a garment, but of creating a scenario that captivates the buyer and incites them to buy.
