Quick answer

How do I shoot a Onam collection catalogue quickly?

To shoot an Onam collection, photograph each kasavu saree or set-mundu flat with the gold border visible, then generate on-model photos with an Indian (South) model, a Traditional style and the Kerala Backwaters backdrop in DrapifyApp. Go live three to four weeks before Onam.

Onam catalogue photoshoot
A Onam catalogue photoshoot is the set of product and on-model photos a fashion seller prepares for their Onam collection, timed to go live before festival shoppers start buying.

Onam is the biggest clothing season in Kerala, and its signature garment — the cream-and-gold kasavu saree — is simple enough that photography makes or breaks the listing. A kasavu photographed flat looks like plain white cloth; on a model, in soft daylight, the border and drape carry the image. AI catalogue shoots with South Indian models let Kerala weavers and boutiques show every kasavu and set-mundu the way Onam buyers expect.

Why traditional onam · catalogue shoot slows sellers down

  • Traditional onam · catalogue shoot shoots cost ₹15,000–₹50,000 per day — studio, model, photographer and retouching all billed separately
  • Every new colour, design or season usually means booking a full re-shoot
  • Fabric texture, embroidery and print details are hard to capture consistently across a catalogue
  • Coordinating models, stylists and studios adds 1–2 weeks to every drop
  • Reformatting one shoot for Myntra, Amazon, Flipkart and Meesho specs is slow, manual work

How DrapifyApp fixes it with AI

  • Generate a full editorial set from one photo — multiple poses, angles and backgrounds
  • Fabric, print and embroidery reproduced 1:1 from your reference image
  • The same identity-locked model across every pose and colourway
  • New colour or scene in minutes — no re-shoot, no re-booking
  • Marketplace-ready ratios and pure-white backgrounds built in

When to shoot for Onam

Onam is Kerala’s main festival and its biggest clothing season — new clothes (Onakkodi) are part of the celebration, and families shop in the weeks before.

Have kasavu sarees and set-mundu listings live three to four weeks before Onam, and include menswear mundu and kids’ pattu pavadai so families can buy together.

The Onam look: colours, feel and backdrop

Onam’s signature look is off-white or cream with a gold kasavu border, styled simply with jasmine and gold jewellery.

Choose the Indian (South) model look, a Traditional style and the Kerala Backwaters or South Indian Temple backdrop — soft daylight and Kerala settings suit the cream-and-gold palette. Keep backgrounds calm so the border stands out.

Running the shoot in DrapifyApp

Photograph each garment flat or on a hanger in daylight. Pick one model and keep the identity for the whole collection, choose the style and background above, and tap the marketplace pack for your main channel — Amazon and Flipkart 1:1 on white, Myntra 3:4 on white, Meesho 4:5, Shopify and Instagram 4:5.

Generate the hero shot for every SKU first, so all listings can go live, then go back and add back views, detail shots and colour variants to your best sellers.

Onam · catalogue shoot FAQ

Photograph it in soft, even daylight so the cream body and gold border both show, then use the Kerala Backwaters backdrop or a clean light background so the border stands out.
