Photograph Clothing Without Exposing Family Identity

The item can be shown on its own.

A folded striped shirt, fabric swatches and wooden blocks beside a blank notebook; a fictional illustration.

A useful distinction

An item record usually does not require a child’s face, name or home address. A neutral background can show the garment while reducing unnecessary personal information. Reflections, labels and documents in the background also deserve attention.

Put it into practice

Photograph the item privately laid flat or hung appropriately. Check the image for identifiers before sharing it. Keep the intended use and any necessary permission clear, and avoid presenting a fictional generated image as a photograph of a real garment offered for sale.
