The **Select Background** and **Select Pose** steps set the scene. Each has a library to browse, a way to save your own styles, and a **Text** tab to describe exactly what you want. ## Backgrounds Background is a step for clothing shops. (Jewelry shops use [Templates](/ai-photo-studio/jewelry-templates); other products are placed in a setting that suits them.) Select Background step with category chips, AI choice, upload tile, saved backgrounds and shade swatches ### Browse Pick a category (1): **All**, **Studio**, **Outdoor**, **Festive** or **Indoor**. Then click a backdrop. There are around 90, from "Grey studio" to outdoor streets and festive sets. Use the search button to find one by name. **Let AI Choose a Background** (2) has a color option too, such as **White Studio**, **Black Studio**, **Warm Beige**, **Olive Green** or **Terracotta Pink**, for a clean studio color that suits your product. Pick an exact shade with the swatches under the list. ### Upload your own background 1. Click **Upload Background Image** (3) and crop it in **Crop Background Image**. 2. Tick **Save for later** to keep it. You can keep up to 10 saved backgrounds. **Tip:** Use a photo of the empty scene. If there's a person in it, you'll see "For better results, remove the subject from the background image." ### My Styles **Add Your Own Background Style** saves a background look you can reuse across products. ### Text Switch to the **Text** tab (4) and describe the scene under **The background features**, for example "Soft morning light in a minimalist studio". ## Poses Select Pose step with view filters, pose thumbnails, Browse, My Styles and Text tabs and the Styling menu ### Browse Choose a category (**All**, **Male**, **Female**, **Kids**, **Toddler**) and a view (1): **Front**, **Front-Side**, **Side**, **Back-Side**, **Back-Face** or **Back**. Click a pose to select it. One pose is used per image. If you pick a view you have no product photo for, the studio suggests adding one, for example a **Back** photo for a back pose. It's worth doing: the AI can't see a back it has never been shown. ### My Styles On the **My Styles** tab (2), click **Add Your Own Pose Style**, upload a reference photo of the pose you want, and click **Use Pose Style**. It's saved for next time. ### Text Describe the pose in **Pose Description**, for example "Standing in slight contrapposto, left hand resting on the hip". ### Expression On **My Styles** and **Text**, pick an expression: **Neutral**, **Smiling** or **Laughing**. ### Styling The **Styling** menu (3) has options that depend on the garment: for example **Tucked out** or **Tucked in** for a shirt, **Pleated pallu** or **Floating pallu** for a saree, or which finger a ring is worn on. ## Favorites Mark models, backgrounds, templates and styles as favorites and they move to the front of the list. ## Related articles * [Your First Photoshoot](/ai-photo-studio/your-first-photoshoot) * [Accessories](/ai-photo-studio/accessories) * [Final Settings and Image Engines](/ai-photo-studio/final-settings-and-image-engines)
