Quick Answer

Use Nightjar to place your product in nature. Unlike generic AI that makes products look like they are floating, Nightjar understands environmental physics. It blends your product into the sand, grass, or forest floor with realistic shadows and lighting.


Why most AI tools struggle with natural environments

Nature is messy. Lighting is complex.

  • Beach: Bright, harsh sun, blue reflections.
  • Forest: Dappled, green-tinted light, soft shadows.

Generic AI tools (like Midjourney) often paste your product on top of a background. It looks fake because the product doesn't "sit" in the scene. It lacks the contact shadows and color cast of the environment.

How Nightjar handles natural environments

Nightjar is trained on outdoor product photography.

  1. Upload: Your product.
  2. Select Style: "Beach," "Forest," "Mountain," or "Desert."
  3. Result: The AI adjusts the lighting on your product to match the scene.
    • If it's a forest, your product gets subtle green reflections.
    • If it's a beach, the shadows become hard and crisp.

This makes the product look like it was actually shot on location, not composited later.

Consistent and on brand AI photoshoots, optimized for conversion.
