Flat Lay Table
A flat lay table is a purpose-built surface for capturing bird's-eye (top-down) images of products such as apparel, ensemble sets, or accessories. It provides an effortless setup for arranging items in a balanced manner under controlled lighting conditions.
Related to flat lay photography and product styling, and complements overhead-angle shoots and styling notes.
Pro Tip
Arrange items evenly on the surface and shoot from a true overhead angle while keeping lighting regulated for consistent results.
Use Cases
Used when shooting top-down images of products—apparel, kits, or accessories—or whenever a balanced bird's-eye arrangement under controlled lighting is required.
