How do I make AI product photos look like they were taken under natural sunlight?

Quick Answer

Use Nightjar's "Natural Sunlight" styles. Generic AI often confuses "sunlight" with "studio light." Nightjar is trained to simulate real sun—directional shadows, warm colors, and soft diffusion—so your products look like they were shot near a window, not in a box.

Why Generic Tools Don't Understand Natural Light

General AI tools treat "sunlight" as just a word. They don't know physics. They often give you harsh, flat light that looks fake. Real sunlight has warmth and specific shadow patterns that are hard to fake with a text prompt.

How to Get Authentic Natural Sunlight

Nightjar solves this by using Lighting Styles.

• Select a Style: Choose "Golden Hour," "Window Light," or "Soft Sun."
• Real Physics: Nightjar calculates how the sun would actually hit your product.
• Consistent Warmth: You get that organic, outdoor feel without the "AI look."

You can also upload a reference photo of sunlight you like, and Nightjar will copy that exact lighting for your product.
