AI Knitwear Photos: Showing Knit, Weight and Softness

Quick answer: Knitwear sells on texture. Use low side light to show stitches, name the yarn and knit, and add one macro detail shot to every set.

Step by step

1. Name yarn and knit: merino rib, cable, mohair.
2. Use low side light to bring out texture.
3. Show the drape on a moving or seated model.
4. Add one macro close-up of stitches.
5. Keep colour true under warm light.
