The trend

What is the ghost photoshoot trend on TikTok?

A ghost photoshoot is friends, couples or whole families under bed sheets with two eye holes, posing around town as if it were a normal day: coffee in hand, in a row on the sidewalk, on the stairs, walking away. Sunglasses or a hat on top make it the version that fills TikTok and Instagram every October.

It is not the ghost filter prank, the TikTok video where a ghost appears behind someone. You can shoot the sheet version for real, or upload a photo you already have and the AI turns everyone into a sheet ghost in the same spot, with the same props.

  1. 1.

    Any photo of you

    A walk with friends, a picnic, the dog in the yard.

  2. 2.

    Every sheet color

    White, pastel or black without buying a single sheet.

  3. 3.

    Real shoot fixes

    Remove strangers, smooth creases, warm up the light.

Two kinds of ghost

Sheet ghost or see-through ghost

Ghost photoshoot means two things online: the bed sheet costume, and a long exposure where the person looks transparent. The AI makes both from the same photo.

The sheet ghost

The viral look: a sheet, two eye holes, and whatever you were holding.

  • Keeps the pose, the coffee and the steps
  • Add sunglasses, a hat or a color in the same sentence

The see-through ghost

The classic camera trick: the body fades so the wall and steps show through it.

  • With a camera: a tripod, a 10 to 30 second exposure, and step out halfway through
  • Here: one sentence on any photo, no tripod

Sheet colors

Ghost photoshoot ideas: pick the sheet color

White is the classic, pastels are this year’s favorite and black reads spooky. Tap a color to see the same three friends in it.

Every color starts from the same original photo.

Poses

Ghost photoshoot poses that always work

The trick is acting normal under a sheet. These are the poses the trend is built on, each made here from an ordinary photo.

  • A family of four as sheet ghosts standing in a row under an oak tree

    Stand still in a row

    Everyone shoulder to shoulder, arms down, facing the camera. Works for friends, coworkers or the whole family.

  • Three sheet ghosts walking away down a park path covered in orange leaves

    Walk away

    Shoot from behind as the ghosts walk down a path or a sidewalk, side by side.

  • A sheet ghost sitting on brick steps with a takeaway coffee

    Sit on the steps

    A ghost on a curb, a bench or the front steps with a coffee, as if waiting for a bus.

  • A couple as two sheet ghosts sitting on a picnic blanket in an autumn park

    Picnic for two

    A couple of ghosts on a blanket with a basket and a pumpkin. The calmer the scene, the funnier.

  • three women friends with takeaway coffee on an autumn city sidewalk, as white sheet ghosts wearing black sunglasses

    Sunglasses on top

    Black sunglasses over the eye holes. They also hold the sheet in place when you move.

  • three women friends with takeaway coffee on an autumn city sidewalk, as white sheet ghosts in brown cowboy hats

    Cowboy hats

    A hat on every ghost, for a group that wants one more twist.

Ghost dog

Ghost dog photoshoot

The dog version is the most searched after friends. A dog rarely sits still under a sheet, so most people make this one from a photo.

From one photo of your dog

Upload the dog in the yard or on the sofa and tap Dog. It gets a small sheet with eye holes, with its legs and tail showing.

  • Clear photos with the whole dog in frame work best
  • Add sunglasses or a hat in the same sentence

With a real sheet

Use a pillowcase or a small piece of an old sheet, never a full one the dog can trip on.

  • Cut ear holes as well as eye holes so it stays on
  • Keep the legs free and the session to a few minutes, with treats

Shoot it for real

What you need for a ghost photoshoot

Everything for a real ghost photoshoot, from the sheet to the friend holding the phone.

A white bed sheet, chalk, scissors, a black beanie, sunglasses, a coffee cup and a small pumpkin laid out on a wooden floor

The kit

One flat sheet per person, chalk, scissors and a beanie. Sunglasses, a coffee cup or a pumpkin give the ghosts something to do.

  • A sheet hangs half its length in front and half behind: a twin (66 x 96 inches) falls to the knees or mid-calf
  • A queen or king (102 inches long) hangs 3 inches lower
  • A beanie under the sheet keeps it from sliding

The eye holes

Put the sheet on and let a friend mark your eyes with chalk, then take it off and cut.

  • Cut two small ovals: a hole is easy to make bigger
  • Sunglasses or a hat go on top, one style for the whole group
  • Shoot in late afternoon sun so white sheets stay bright, on a day without wind

Already did the shoot?

Edit your ghost photoshoot photos

Real sheets crease, and someone always walks into the frame. This shot asked: "Remove the jogger and the car in the background, smooth out the fold lines in both sheets, and change the light to warm golden hour with autumn leaves on the path".

  • The same ghost photo after the edit: smooth sheets, golden light, leaves on the path and no one behind
