Can I change the camera angle in my product photos using AI?

Yes, you can change camera angles in product photos using AI. Tools built specifically for product photography, like Nightjar, handle camera angle changes by understanding how perspective, lighting, and shadows work together in product photography. You upload your product photo and describe the angle you want in plain language—"low angle looking up," "overhead view," or "three-quarter angle from the right." The system models the correct shadows and lighting direction for that specific camera position because it's trained on product photography, not generic image generation.

This is different from trying to change angles in Photoshop, which requires professional retouching skills because you're not just rotating the product—you need to reconstruct shadows, adjust perspective distortion, and ensure lighting direction matches the new angle. The shadows need to follow the product's form correctly, and the lighting must look consistent with the new perspective. Without this precision, the result looks obviously edited and loses the professional quality you're aiming for.

For consistent angles across multiple products, you can create a custom photography style in Nightjar. Find reference images with the camera angle you want, upload them to Nightjar, and create a reusable style in about a minute. Once you've set that style, every new product image will maintain that same camera angle and perspective consistently across your catalog. This is especially useful when you need multiple products shot from the same angle for a cohesive look.

If you don't have a great product image to start with, Nightjar can generate a brand new studio-quality photoshoot with your desired camera angle baked in from the start. This often produces more realistic results than trying to change an existing photo's angle, since the lighting, shadows, and perspective are all generated together as a unified scene. Unlike generic AI tools, Nightjar is designed to preserve your product exactly as it appears—colors, materials, branding, and details remain intact while only the camera perspective changes.
