Quick Answer
Use Nightjar to generate instant flat lays. You don't need to buy props or arrange them manually. Just upload your product and ask for a "flat lay with botanical elements" or "stone textures," and Nightjar will arrange a perfectly balanced composition for you.
Why flat lays are harder than they look
A good flat lay requires a stylist's eye.
- Balance: Not too messy, not too empty.
- Lighting: Needs soft, top-down lighting to avoid harsh shadows.
- Props: You need fresh flowers, clean stones, or specific textures.
Why traditional flat lays are tedious
Doing this for real takes hours. You have to buy the props, set up the lights, and nudge things around by the millimeter. If the flowers wilt, you have to start over.
How Nightjar creates flat lays
Nightjar acts as your digital stylist.
- Upload: Your product (top-down view works best).
- Select Style: Choose "Flat Lay," "Botanical," or "Natural."
- Generate: The AI arranges leaves, stones, or wood textures around your product. It handles the shadows and spacing automatically.
