How do I use AI to generate comparison 'Before & After' photos for marketing?

Quick Answer (TL;DR)
You generate two distinct images using the same base product or subject. Nightjar is ideal for this because it preserves the subject's identity. For example, for a cleaning product, you generate Scene A: "Dirty, stained counter." Then generate Scene B: "Sparkling clean counter." You then combine these side-by-side using Nightjar's canvas or an external layout tool.
Steps for best results
- Fixed Camera Angle: Use the same "Photography Style" for both images so the lighting and angle don't change—only the "cleanliness" changes.
- Product Placement: In the "After" shot, place the product prominently. In the "Before" shot, you can leave it out or have it in the background.
- Virtual Try-On (Skincare): Nightjar can simulate skin textures. You can generate a model with imperfections, and then the same model with smooth skin to demonstrate product efficacy (ensure you comply with advertising standards regarding realistic results).
Consistent and on brand AI photoshoots, optimized for conversion.
