Choose a model
On the Model step there are 350+ models: every age, babies to adults in their 80s, many skin tones and body types, and collections for modest wear, maternity and adaptive fashion, plus kids and teens. Models that fit your product appear first under Suggested for your product; below them is More models, and pinned models come first of all. Use the filters for gender, age, ethnicity, body type or collection, or search, for example “plus-size” or “South Asian”.
Our first studio models have pose sets of their own, and every other model uses poses shared by models like them, so the poses on the next step change with the model. Suggestions follow your product, so a saree shoot starts with models who wear sarees well and a sweater shoot with a different set.
The same product looks different on different people, and your customers see themselves in the range. A few of the models, each in a real shoot:
Riya, wheelchair user, Modern Office
Margaret, in her 60s, White Brick Loft
Kavya, plus size, Marigold Festive Set
Kenji, Skate Park

Find poses

The pose picker has the tabs Poses, Ideas and Your own; poses shared by other sellers appear in the picker once approved. You can pick up to 6 poses per shoot. Any pose can be shown as Full length, Head to knee, Waist up or Close-up, with a Neutral, Soft smile, Big smile, Serious or Looking away expression. Frame and expression cost nothing extra.
- Shelves filter by product family, for example Indian wear or Tops & shirts.
- All tags filters by style or framing.
- Search accepts products and poses: “saree”, “walking”, “back view”.
- Use the magnifier on a card to see the pose large before you pick it.
Ideas and your own
Ideas gives written pose suggestions for your product that you can add with one click; Get new ideas writes a fresh set for 1 credit. Your own lets you describe any pose in words at no extra cost, so you are never limited to the catalogue and can create as many new poses and scenes as you need; see describing a pose or scene.
Choose a scene
Scenes are grouped into shelves: Studio, Trendy, Indian heritage, Lifestyle, Evening and Outdoor. Scenes that suit your product come first. Search works too: “festive”, “beach”, “night”.
