Discover how Slapana's revolutionary Photoshoot feature generates 4 unique AI model variations wearing your designs—no photographers, no models, no studio needed.

Every POD seller knows the struggle: you've got an amazing design, but showing it on a flat mockup just doesn't capture attention. Real photoshoots with models cost thousands, require coordination, and take weeks to organize. Most sellers are stuck with generic mockups that blend into the endless scroll of social media.
That's exactly why we built AI Model Photoshoot—Slapana's premium feature that's changing the game for POD sellers everywhere.
What is AI Model Photoshoot?
Photoshoot uses advanced AI (Gemini 2.0 Flash) to generate professional-quality images of AI models wearing your designs. In just 90 seconds, you get 4 unique variations with different poses, angles, and compositions—without hiring photographers, booking studios, or coordinating with models.
Key Features
- 4 Unique Variations: Every generation creates 4 different shots with varied framing, angles, and poses
- Custom Model Description: Specify ethnicity, gender, age range, and style to match your brand
- Scene Control: Choose backgrounds from urban streets to cozy cafés to professional studios
- Reference Similarity: Upload a reference image and control how closely the AI matches it (0-100%)
How It Works
The process is simple and fast:
- Upload Your Design: Start with your t-shirt, hoodie, or any apparel design you want to showcase
- Describe Your Model: Tell the AI who should wear your design—be as specific as you want
- Set the Scene: Describe the environment and mood you're going for
- Generate: Hit the button and get 4 professional-quality images in ~90 seconds
Why 4 Variations?
Social media algorithms love variety, and so do customers. With 4 different shots from one generation, you get:
- Carousel Content: Perfect for Instagram carousel posts that drive engagement
- A/B Testing: Find out which angles and poses resonate with your audience
- Brand Consistency: Same model, same setting, natural variety
- More Value: 4x the content from your credits
Reference Mode: Your Secret Weapon
This is where Photoshoot really shines. Unlike other AI tools that give you random results, Photoshoot lets you upload a reference image and control the output with precision:
80-100% Similarity: Strict matching—the AI closely replicates your reference with minimal variation
50-79% Similarity: Balanced mode—keeps the essence while allowing creative interpretation
0-49% Similarity: Creative freedom—uses your reference as loose inspiration only
This means you can create a consistent brand ambassador across all your marketing, or explore wildly different directions—your choice.
Who Is This For?
Photoshoot was built for:
- Solo POD Sellers: Create professional marketing without hiring anyone
- Small Brands: Build a consistent visual identity on a budget
- Dropshippers: Stand out from competitors using the same generic mockups
- Content Creators: Generate endless social content efficiently
- Print Shops: Show clients their designs on realistic models
