Shoot to Shirt

A PHOTOSHOOT YOU CAN WEAR.

Shoot to Shirt is a Day Dreams exclusive service that turns original photography into something you can feel, touch and wear.

We create the images together. Day Dreams transforms the work into an original apparel design. Then we produce the finished shirts in whatever quantity makes sense for you.

THE IDEA. THE CREATIVE PROCESS. THE FINISHED PIECE.

Photography, creative direction, apparel design and production all handled together.

Built for models, artists, musicians, creators, brands, and anyone who wants to turn an original idea into something wearable.

Capture the Vision

In this stage we capture the imagery we need in order to go from the idea, to the design. We'll use the images from our shoot to help create our designs that go on to your shirt.

Manifest The Design

During the design stage, we'll turn the shoot into a design that can be printed and applied to your shirt. 2 rounds of revisions are included to make absolutely sure you're happy with the design.

How it works

From the first photograph to the finished shirt, the entire project is developed as one connected creative process.

01 - The Shoot

We start with a one-hour photoshoot built around you, your brand, and the image you want to create.

Come with a finished concept, a loose idea, references, or simply a direction. Day Dreams will help shape the visual approach and bring it together.

You’ll receive at least 25 professionally edited photographs, plus the full RAW image set from the shoot.

- Edited photographs are typically delivered within 4 days.

02 - The Design

Once the photography is complete, Day Dreams turns the imagery into an original shirt design.

The design is creatively developed by Day Dreams, but your feedback, references, ideas and direction are part of the process.

One original apparel design and two rounds of revisions are included.

- Your first design concept is typically delivered within one week of the shoot.

03 — THE SHIRT

There is no predetermined blank.

Choose from garments we already know and recommend, bring us a specific blank you want to use, or let us find options based on fit, weight, quality, style and budget.

Boxy. Vintage. Heavyweight. Lightweight. Premium. Basic. Jersey.

The shirt should support the overall feel and aesthetic we're trying to achieve.

04 — Production

Once the design and garment are approved, we produce the shirts.

There is currently no minimum order quantity.

Make one. Make fifty. Make two hundred.

The finished pieces can become merchandise, promotional goods, event products, gifts, or simply a physical extension of the work we created together.

- Production is typically completed within approximately 5 business days once materials are received.

Nine different neutral-colored t-shirts and tank tops are neatly arranged in a grid on a light gray background. The collection includes various shades of black, beige, brown, gray, navy, and white, including both short-sleeve and long-sleeve styles.

Shirt Selection

Every garment comes at a different cost, and production pricing can vary depending on the blank we choose and the number of shirts being made. We’ll work together to choose a garment and quantity that make sense for your project, then provide the production cost before anything is ordered.
Virtually any and all garments are eligible to be printed on as long as they can be ordered online or procured through a local retailer.

Don’t want to front the cost of a full run? We can also structure your release as a preorder, allowing orders to be collected before the shirts are produced.

Already have garments you'd like to use? We can work with those instead of ordering a new shipment.

One shirt or a full release; we’ll build the production plan around the project.
