Unfinished Apparel elevates with VSP Studios

---

It’s always a pleasure to work with creative business owners who have a solid vision and passion for what they do. Whenever I am introduced to new perspective client, the initial discussion is always about how we can work together to elevate their online presence. A new inquiry came in and I set up a conference call to go over the details with Lauren Bean the owner of Unfinished Apparel. After speaking to her it was clear that we were on the same page in terms of the art direction and the model casting. The real plan of action was to provide her with a complete make over of the imagery and videos that would be used to populate her product page listings and home page banners. We decided to go with a white wall corner scene that provides a subtle casual feel, but still maintains an e-commerce style presentation where the models could move freely. Her new collection was all about the new colors, so we wanted to make sure to maintain color accuracy. Lauren came to the shoot to oversee the production, and having her on set really helped to dial in the styling call outs that were an important part of presenting the new items.

A big part of delivering our clients the high-quality images that truly elevate their online presence lies in meticulously dialing in every element that contributes to the overall visuals. Selecting the right models who align perfectly with the brand identity and provide the best fit is an essential aspect of proper casting and model selection. Equally important is configuring the lighting to complement the specific types of garments the models are wearing, ensuring that every detail is showcased to its fullest potential.

A successful photoshoot starts with a thought out production process, solid art direction and and team of creative professionals to get it done.. When these parts come together and click, that's when the magic happens!

VSP Studios is excited to be working with Lauren and her team at Unfinished Apparel. Looking forward to a continued working relationship with this inspiring brand.

Within our creative studio, we translate brand narratives into high impact imagery and video, recognizing the crucial role these assets play in the competitive e-commerce landscape. At VSP we have a goal, which is to enhance our client’s online presence and marketing efforts with impactful content that resonates luxury and sophistication.

Our process begins with building a strong connection and clear communication with our clients. We take the time to understand their unique brand identity, target audience, and specific requirements for each project. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and our ability to tailor our services to meet the diverse needs of our global clientele. Whether it's capturing the perfect lighting to highlight the intricate details of a designer gown or creating a dynamic video showcasing the latest seasonal collection, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional results.

For our clients who require on-model photography, we help guide them with selecting the model. The casting process begins with understanding the client's specific vision and assets needs. We then leverage our network. Collaborating with top model agencies ensures access to a diverse talent pool. This guarantees the perfect fit and look on the models. Helping our clients get the right talent provides seamless integration, maximizing the impact of the final product and client satisfaction. Detailed wardrobe styling and makeup consultations are key during this chapter of the pre-production process. This ensures the models perfectly embody the campaign's essence.

Next, we carefully and meticulously plan the photoshoot location and the lighting setup to ensure the overall look of the shoot maintains the style that compliments the brands vision. Whether we are in the studio or on location, we use our years of experience to maximize our efforts and work efficiently and effectively for our clients. Lighting tests are crucial; we carefully customize and adjust settings to capture the desired mood. This ensures the final images perfectly reflect the client's vision. Determining the final look of the images is all part of the lighting test process.

The next step of our process is when the shipment arrives. We ask all of our clients for a detail inventory and shot list. This ensures that we stay on point with the coming and going of all our clients apparel items, and gives us the direction required to polish the final styling points during the photoshoot. That way we capture every feature and call-out that each apparel item has listed on the product descriptions. Accurate descriptions and numbered items prevent confusion, streamlining the post-production process. This detailed approach guarantees client satisfaction and a more streamlined work flow relationship.

---

Our team then uses this information to create a photoshoot game plan, and organize the looks the model will be wearing. Each garment is carefully steamed to remove wrinkles and ensure a pristine presentation for photography and videography. This preparation is crucial for high quality images. Detailed tags are attached to every item, referencing the inventory list for seamless organization and tracking throughout the shoot. Inventory gets checked against the list, confirming all items are present and accounted for. This ensures that no piece is overlooked. The organized approach minimizes delays, allowing us to begin the actual shooting phase smoothly and efficiently, maximizing our time in the studio. This system promotes greater overall productivity.

The day of the production starts when the chosen crew arrives. The stylist, model and hair and makeup artist are first to get on set. Then we put all the pre-production elements to reality. Lights, camera action! With the model ready in the first outfit change of the day, we fire off the test shots and send to our clients for review. Any final adjustments required are made to the models look and the lighting configuration. The seamless transition into shooting showcased the benefits of careful pre-production planning. Knowing what to look for is a key element of staying on point during the photoshoot.

“Retailers from all over the world send their latest apparel collections to VSP Studios in order to create visually appealing online content that showcases their products effectively. Ghost mannequin images are used for product page listings and detailed line sheets, providing a clear view of the apparel item silouhette. This particular department is expertly handled by my wife, Elena, who ensures that every detail is attended to. The on-model photography is conducted by myself and my team of production assistants. ”

— Victor Sanabrais Photographer and Owner of VSP Studios

During the production process, we always like to maintain communication with the client. Sometimes the client or a representative of the brand is present at the photoshoot and other times we rely on texting or a FaceTime call to get solid real time feedback. Our creative collaboration is paramount to making things run smoothy with the optimal results. This direct interaction saves us time as we can prevent potential issues later and get the clients approval. A positive atmosphere and a feeling that we are all on the same page is all part of a successful photoshoot. Efficient communication paves the way for a productive partnership.

Moving to the post-production process our in house image and video processors begin by importing and organizing the raw image files into CaptureOne, a professional image editing and cataloging software. Once the files are securely stored on a drive or server along with a backup in place they are sorted, named, and color corrected based on shot list details provided or client preferences. The team then applies basic corrections and cropping to prepare the images for review. Once this initial stage is complete we generate a live link, which allows the client to view, comment on, and select images in real time. This live gallery is kept synced with our working session, ensuring that any updates or retouches made by the team are instantly reflected on the client’s end, streamlining the feedback and approval process.

Once the client has reviewed the live gallery and provided their final feedback and image selections, the post-production team transitions into the retouching phase. At this stage, the chosen images are carefully analyzed, and any imperfections are addressed in post. This includes correcting minor distractions such as skin blemishes, stray hairs, or any garment imperfections, all while preserving the natural integrity and character of the image. Retouching is performed with precision using tools like Capture One or Photoshop depending on the complexity of the task. Attention is paid to details like color accuracy, skin tones, product clarity, and overall composition. The goal is to elevate the visual impact of the image without making it appear overly processed or artificial. If the client wants changes like tone, textures, or image details, they are made with clear communication and approval. The team also ensures that all images maintain consistency across the full set, aligning with the brand’s visual identity or the artistic direction of the project. Each retouched file is reviewed internally before being exported in the desired formats and resolutions for delivery, whether for web or print. Our post production process not only enhances the quality of the final product but also reinforces trust and satisfaction with the client. By the time the final assets are delivered, the images reflect a refined version of the original vision. The final delivery starts by us uploading to a cloud based file storage and sharing service that allows individuals and teams to access the assets from anywhere with an internet connection.

Handling expensive apparel items requires disciplined approach along with an experienced crew that knows how to meet the challenges and have an eye for the details. With the photoshoot completed and the final assets delivered to the client, we pack all the apparel merchandise for return. We ask all our clients to send us a return shipping label and confirm when the package is on the way back to their warehouse. Our clients can now monitor the status of the package via the tracking number. We take the time and care when the items arrive and when they leave our studio heading back to the client.

For luxury fashion brads and retailers, superior photography and videography form the core of their online identity. In this fiercely competitive arena where perception reigns supreme, presentation eclipses even the product itself. A high quality visual pretension of our clients appeal items is what we stay focused on from the moment the goods arrive at our door. Luxurious textures, exquisite tailoring, and painstaking details of artistry are revealed through stunning high definition visuals. Whether it’s compelling marketing imagery for ads shot at an amazing location or product page listing sets shot in the studio, every image is carefully planned to reflect the brand’s style and price point.

Our strong focus on visual quality helps keep a brand’s message consistent across social media, websites, and advertising collateral. In the contemporary digital marketplace, where consumers lack direct physical engagement, visually arresting media reigns supreme. If you are selling high end apparel merchandise, then high end visuals will be required to present your items to the masses. Customers respond to the difference they see in price point and presentation. When they look for luxe level items, they expect to see elevated imagery.

Outstanding photography and videography transcend mere marketing tools and are fundamental to the very fabric of the prestigious brand experience, profoundly shaping customer perception and fueling commercial success. High quality images that yield high conversion rates is something VSP Studios looks to provide our clients with each and every time.

Luxury brands and premium level retailers come to us to elevate their e-commerce imagery as they require a more polished presentation to sell their merchandise to the masses. VSP Studios applies our years of industry knowledge and experience when creating website content and marketing campaigns. Whether you are looking for on-model photography or ghost mannequin photography, VSP Studios can help you create the image assets you need to generate sales online.

Reshaping Fashion with the new VSP Ghost Studio

PRESS RELEASE KTLA.com - https://ktla.com/business/press-releases/ein-presswire/790141164/vsp-studios-launches-a-new-ghost-mannequin-website-to-serve-the-fashion-apparel-industry/

The reshaping of the fashion apparel industry with ghost mannequin photography by VSP Studios began in 2010.

The actual reshaping takes placed in our post production department, where the final images are polished and completed, but there were a few moves made along the way that reshaped how we launched VSP Studios some 10 years ago. We entered a part of the industry that was overlooked by so many who just didn’t see it as a big part of the future. Perhaps they thought it was a fad, or that it would not really be needed by enough retailers to make it a worthy venture. Either way, I saw what was missing and stepped in heavy from get go. Pedal to the metal mentality aside, I did my homework and found the right team to expedite the game plan. Back then, no one was offering this new “invisible ghost mannequin” style to the open public online. Yes there we plenty of sites offering to tell you how cool looking the process was and how apparel brands will use it, but no clear site offering a “menu” price list or a ‘click here to order” button to acquire ghost mannequin images of your new fashion apparel collection. VSP ghost mannequin spawned from the moment I saw this opening. We didn’t invent the process, we just perfected the process and were first to offer it to the masses on Google. Fist come, first serve as they say, but we also take pride in the quality of work we put out for our customers. To us this is a fashion art form that requires a photographers skill and a stylists eye to achieve. Together this combination has allowed us to work with several of the top online retailers and wholesalers. From athletic wear, to womenswear, to menswear, to kids and baby’s, we are well versed in creating fashion apparel product imagery.

We are so excited to announce that our new VSP Ghost Studio website is now fully dialed in and ready to take orders.

The high demand for ghost mannequin photography showed my wife Elena and I that it was time to expand our reach on this part of our studio. With Elena’s great leadership and industry knowledge, she has taken over the ghost shootings at VSP. There is simply no one better at dialing in ghost apparel photoshoots than my wife. If there was an Olympic team for ghost mannequin photoshoots, Elena is on the team and taking a medal, I have zero doubt. I taught her everything that she knows about photography, of course, but the styling and positioning of the garments on the mannequins is all her. I’m so proud of her, can’t you tell?

High-quality ghost mannequin images feed the AI, which in turn produces high-quality fashion content.

We are all hearing more and more buzz about how AI is coming, or rather, it has arrived. In the fashion apparel industry we are seeing new ways in which AI will change the game being proposed. Some are controversial and unwelcome by long standing industry players, and some fully accepted and pushed into the market place. I will touch base on this in the near future, but for now my focus is on the content creation need that AI presents. We started getting more inquiries from customers who want to place an order for ghost mannequin photography services, with the plan of using the images on a app service that places the clothing onto AI generated models and into short play video content. This has increased the demand for our ghost mannequin department and has opened my eyes up to what is to come next. Like I said, more to come on this.

Elevate your fashion brand with high-quality ghost mannequin images that provide you with rich content for all of your selling platforms. Our ghost mannequin photography captures the exact details and contours of your clothing, creating a stunning visual experience that showcases your products in the best light. From look-books and product page listings, to social media promotions, you’ll receive tailor-made ghost images that showcase the proper silhouette, color and clarity of your apparel merchandise. Utilizing ghost mannequin images not only streamlines your online marketing campaigns, but also ensures you are showcasing your apparel collections across all platforms. This approach allows you to focus on what you do best — designing and selling your fashion pieces — while our images work to amplify your online presence.

VSP Goes On Location With Lascana

Going on location to shoot a fashion collection can be challenging endeavor. Dealing with ever changing weather conditions, overseeing the logistics of transporting the crew and gear, is just a small part of what must be managed to achieve the final objective. This is where years of experience comes into play. Knowing how to put fires out, and how to adapt to the elements that are out of your control is the best minds set to carry you through the day. What makes it more enjoyable is when we are working with a model, and crew that is all on the same page. Photographing an amazing resort collection from Lascana with the amazing model Geisa, is my kind of perfect photoshoot day. Take a look below at the some of the images we were able to capture, along with some of the behind the scenes footage from our shoot at Crandon Park Beach.

An important part of the process for location photoshoots is establishing a basecamp. This is where the crew can prepare the clothing, download images for review, set up the lighting gear, and hair and make up changes can be dialed in. It takes a team to set this all up, and make it all come together.

---

To shoot an entire day out on location requires having the right lighting equipment and refelctors to get this done. The sun position will often times be overhead and this requires a large scrim to cut the harsh sun off the model. We fill this in with reflectors and at times, high speed sync flash. Dialing in all this gear and keeping the model on point with the styling is a challenge that requires a good crew of assistants. Lucky for me, my VSP team is always there to help me get the shot.

Ethical Apparel Group Launches Love Below Water

As lead photographer and owner of VSP Studios, I handle many inquiries from new brands that are just starting out in the fashion game. Sometimes the inquiry comes from a design team located overseas, or a manufacturer in Asia, or a private party in the US. Sometimes it comes from an old friend, who needs me to step in and delver images that help to launch a new brand campaign. Well, let me tell you the story of friend Wilson Kello, CEO of Ethical Apparel Group, and his new brand called LOVE BELOW WATER.

“We know what the conscious consumer wants. Those prepared to deliver affordable sustainability and style today will be the winners in tomorrow’s apparel landscape.”

— Wilson Kello CEO Ethical Apparel Group

I can’t tell you how excited I was when I got the call to be on the LBW team. I could hear in Wilson’s voice how excited he was to begin assembling an amazing team of professionals, who can bring their years of experience in the fashion design and manufacturing business to the table. Wilson is actively looking for investors who want to meaningfully change the dynamics of global fashion.

Ethical Apparel Group was born with a focus on using sustainable fabrics and, of course ethical business practices. After many meetings with Wilson and his team, I was fired up, and ready to rock and roll on our initial photoshoot. Next step was model casting, reviewing sample items to fit approval, and finding the location for us to use as the backdrop for our marketing images.

Wilson and I met in NYC some 14 years ago while working for a womenswear, fashion manufacturer. We had lots of experience working together, and we both new that once we get our heads dialed into a direction, we would be focused and fully capable of art directing this new brand, and breathing life into the imagery. Wilson hopped on a plane and headed for VSP Studios to get things rolling. Take a look below at the images and videos we have assemble for the Love Below Water website launch. Bikinis, one pieces, and some unique pieces that will turn heads on the beach and by the pool. I didn’t even know exactly what a paddle suit was until I had the chance to see the models wearing at the photoshoot. I have a feeling this will soon be the new trending item of the summer.

Here is a sneak peak at some of the images and videos we have assemble for the Love Below Water website.

We embrace the belief that feeling good about the clothes you put on your body is more than just a trend—it's a lifestyle, therefore when you slip into a Love Below Water swimsuit, you're not just making a fashion statement—you're making a conscious choice to support a lifestyle centered around sustainability and mindful consumption.

Gone are the days when environmental consciousness was the domain of niche activists willing to sacrifice style for sustainability. Today's consumers demand both, and Love Below Water is poised to deliver. Unlike many brands that merely pay lip service to ethical practices, we are genuinely committed to our cause, offering unrivaled transparency throughout our supply chain. Love Below Water is:

●  Elevated essentials, merging timeless style with contemporary sensibilities

●  Unwavering dedication to comfort and functionality

Our vision extends beyond swimwear, envisioning an expansion into the broader active category. Season- less crossover pieces and athleisure staples such as leggings, tanks, sports bras, tops, cover-ups, and lightweight jackets are on our horizon, ensuring that Love Below Water remains at the forefront of fashion innovation while staying true to our ethos of responsible style.

But our dedication to sustainability doesn't stop there. We're constantly striving to innovate and improve our practices, whether it's through the use of eco-friendly materials or the implementation of renewable energy sources. In fact, we're proud to announce that our factory is in the process of going solar, further reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and paving the way for a greener, more sustainable future. We also firmly believe in the transformative power of fashion to create meaningful change. Our brand is built on the principles of sustainability, transparency, and moral duty, with every decision guided by our dedication to people, the planet, and the future we share.
