What is Ghost Mannequin Photography?

Ghost mannequin photography — also known as the invisible mannequin or hollow-man effect — is a post-production technique used to create the illusion that a garment is being worn by an invisible body. The result is a 3D, lifelike product image that shows shape and fit without any visible mannequin or model.
