How can I create soft window light or golden hour tones in my fashion product photos?

Quick Answer

Use Nightjar to simulate natural light. Don't rely on filters. Nightjar simulates the physics of "Golden Hour" or "Window Light," creating soft, directional shadows and warm tones that wrap around your product naturally.

Why natural lighting is more than a filter

You can't just slap a yellow filter on a photo and call it "Golden Hour."

• Direction: The light must come from a low angle.
• Shadows: They should be long and soft.
• Color: It's not just yellow; it's a mix of warm highlights and cool shadows.

Why generic AI tools struggle with natural lighting

Generic AI often just makes the whole image orange. It doesn't understand how light interacts with different fabrics or skin tones during specific times of day.

How Nightjar handles natural lighting

Nightjar uses physics-based lighting models.

1. Upload: Your fashion product.
2. Select Style: "Golden Hour" or "Window Light."
3. Result: The AI relights your product. It looks like you shot it at 5 PM in a studio with a large window. The shadows fall correctly across the folds of the fabric.

Perfect for fashion brands seeking authentic lighting

Natural light feels expensive and authentic. Use Nightjar to give your entire catalog that warm, high-end editorial look without waiting for the sun to be in the perfect spot.
