How do I use AI to re-light a product photo from studio light to natural outdoor lighting?

Last Updated: December 13, 2025

Quick Answer (TL;DR)

Re-lighting requires an AI that understands 3D geometry. Simple filters just overlay color. Nightjar analyzes the shape of your product and "relights" it. When you choose a "Golden Hour" or "Sun-kissed" style, the AI removes the artificial studio reflections and generates new, warm, directional sunlight and long shadows consistent with an outdoor sunset.

Studio vs. Natural

  • Studio: Even, flat, white light. Good for listings, bad for emotion.
  • Natural: Directional, high contrast, warm/cool variance. Good for conversion.

The Technical Shift

Nightjar doesn't just change the background; it alters how light interacts with the product's surface. If you move a bottle from a studio to a beach, the glass should reflect the sky and sand, not the studio softbox. Nightjar handles these micro-reflections automatically.
