children's clothing set display

I want to know how these clothing sets are being photographed? is it on hangers or on the ground? How can I blow out the background completely like this?

  • \$\begingroup\$ @MikeW - I thought that too, but they didn't looked filled in, so I think the question is more about the background. \$\endgroup\$

It looks like they are being photographed using the "Ghost Mannequin" technique or a slight variant of it.

Usually clothes are placed on a mannequin, photographed and then photographed again inside-out. The two images are then put together in post-processing. In this case they may have varied it slightly by placing the clothes out flat, but broadly the technique looks the same.

It looks like it's photographed on a ground (noticed that everything is flat), most likely from a height (ladder/stairs/window on a 1st floor ;) ) on a large sheet of white paper/cloth (either laying horizontally or at a slight angle).

Considering how evenly lit the clothes are I guess photographer used 2 flashes standing on a sides with either umbrellas or (more likely) large reflectors / softboxes. There are several light setups that can be used for such effect.

In either case - it looks like a rather professional setup.
