How can I create a flat lay shot of my product with natural elements using AI?

The thing about flat lays is they look effortless when they're done right, but getting there is harder than it seems. You can't just throw some leaves and stones around your product and call it a day. The composition has to feel balanced—not too busy, not too sparse. The elements have to look like they belong together, not like you raided a craft store. And the lighting has to be soft and even, coming from above, so nothing looks weird or shadowy.

The traditional way is to actually arrange everything on a table and shoot from above. This works, but it's a pain. First you have to find the right props—leaves that aren't wilted, stones that aren't too big, flowers that match the vibe. Then you spend forever moving things around until it looks right. Then you realize the lighting is off, so you adjust that. And if you want to try a different arrangement? Start over.

What if you could skip all that? That's what Nightjar does. You upload your product photo, pick the "Flat-lay" photography style, and it figures out how to arrange wood textures, plants, stones, and other organic stuff around your product in a way that actually looks good. It knows how shadows should fall, how things should sit in the frame, how to make it all feel cohesive.

Your product stays exactly the same—same colors, same materials, same everything. Only the scene around it changes. Want to try a different look? Generate another one. No prop shopping, no styling, no waiting for the right light. It just works.

If you're doing lifestyle stuff or natural product lines, you probably need flat lays. This makes it possible without having to become a stylist.
