Hey Product Hunt π
I'm Avdhoot, and my co-founder Sanket - we're building Trayve.
About 4 months ago, we started working on this after watching small fashion brands get absolutely wrecked by the photoshoot problem.
Here's the cycle:
Brands start with flat lay photos because that's what they can afford. Sales are... depressing.
So they save up, book a real photoshoot. Models, studio, weeks of coordination. Photos come back looking fire and suddenly people actually buy stuff.
Plot twist: They need to launch more products. Like, constantly. 50, 100+ throughout the year. But they can't keep booking shoots because money isn't infinite, and flat lays still suck.
They're stuck between expensive shoots they can't scale and cheap photos that don't convert.
We saw this everywhere. Different brands, same nightmare.
So we built Trayve:
Upload your clothes, pick from 22 models, choose poses. About 50 seconds later, boom - professional model photos.
Want lifestyle shots for Instagram? Run it through PostReady. Need clean product photos for your store? ShopReady. Each takes about 50 seconds per image.
Not instant, but way better than booking a studio for two weeks.
"But can't I just use ChatGPT?"
Sure. You can also cut your own hair.
Look, some people use ChatGPT for this. Just like some people use Photoshop for Instagram posts. But most people use Canva because they don't want to spend their day learning tools - they want to make a post and move on.
That's us for fashion photography.
With ChatGPT, you're writing prompts for 30 minutes, colors come out wrong, model looks different every time, and you're praying the quality is usable. Sometimes it works.
Sometimes you've just burned an hour for nothing.
We built this specifically for brands who need their entire catalog photographed. Same model across everything. Consistent quality. Both Instagram content and store photos. No prompt engineering degree required.
If you love spending time perfecting AI prompts, genuinely go do that. Have a blast.
But most brand owners just want their products photographed so they can get back to actually running their business.
We're not competing with ChatGPT. We're competing with traditional photoshoots that take weeks and cost way more than most small brands can afford.
Tested with a few people so far. They're into it. Turns out 50 seconds per image beats weeks of coordination or hours of prompt trial-and-error.
Still figuring stuff out, but the problem is real and we're solving it.

@avdhootttΒ What stands out is the focus on consistency across a full catalog. Same model, same quality, usable outputs for both store and social. That is what brands actually need, not one-off hero images.
I see a similar pattern while building Curatora. People do not want more tools or more control. They want reliable outcomes with less effort. If Trayve keeps delivering predictable, on-brand results, this can replace photoshoots for a lot of small teams.

@imtiyazmohammedΒ The "reliable outcomes with less effort" thing is so real. Nobody wants another tool with 47 settings to configure. They just want it to work.

@avdhootttΒ This is one of the most compelling launches I've seen. You didn't just identify a "problem"βyou articulated the exact, exhausting cycle that grinds small brands into dust: the soul-crushing gap between flat lays and unaffordable shoots. Watching that cycle is what makes a founder. Building Trayve to break it is the real work.
My question isn't about the tech; it's about the people you're saving weeks for. What's the first channel where a burned-out brand owner, staring at their flat lays and emptying bank account, is most likely to discover that a solution like Trayve even exists? Is it deep in niche e-commerce forums, or through the raw "before/after" stories of other founders?

@olajiggy321Β Honestly, we're just starting out so we're trying a few things. Mainly targeting Shopify stores and D2C brands through social (Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, LinkedIn) and cold DMs to founders who are clearly stuck in flat lay hell.
The vibe is pretty simple - show them what's possible, talk about the time/money saved, and if it clicks, it clicks. No magic formula yet, just testing what works.
Still figuring it out, but questions like this help a lot π

@zeiki_yuΒ Exactly - we built this for brands who'd rather spend their time shipping products than coordinating photoshoots. Appreciate the support!
