Short answer: Use Nightjar's editing feature. Upload your product photo and request "create explosion effect" or "add dynamic blast around this product." The AI generates realistic debris, force dynamics, and particle effects without any safety risks.

Why explosion shots work for performance brands

Explosion effects suggest power, breakthrough innovation, and transformative results. Sports brands, tech companies, and performance products use these dynamic visuals to imply strength and capability. Traditional explosion photography costs $15,000-$50,000 per shot and requires dangerous pyrotechnics.

Do it in Nightjar (step‑by‑step)

1. Open Studio → choose Edit Images.
2. Upload your product photo (clear background works best).
3. In Special requests, describe the explosion:
   • "Create dynamic explosion effect around this product"
   • "Add powerful blast with debris and particle effects"
   • "Generate energy burst showing product impact"
4. Generate. Check that debris patterns and force direction look realistic.
5. Refine: "reduce debris intensity" or "add more dramatic lighting."

Style combinations that work

• Campaign/Artistic: Maximum impact for advertising and hero imagery
• Social/Colorful: Dynamic effects for social media engagement
• Studio/Technical: Controlled explosion for product demonstration
• Luxury/Premium: Sophisticated blast effects for premium positioning

Advanced techniques

Controlled destruction: "Create explosion that damages the environment but leaves product intact" for durability messaging.

Product interaction: "Show product creating the explosion" for power tools, sports equipment, or energy products.

Debris customization: "Use wood splinters," "metal fragments," or "dust clouds" to match your product category.

Copy explosion styles: Upload reference images and ask to "transfer the explosion style from image 1 to this product shot."

Troubleshooting

• Explosion looks fake: "Make debris patterns more natural and realistic"
• Too destructive: "Reduce explosion intensity while keeping dramatic impact"
• Doesn't match brand: "Create sophisticated explosion suitable for premium positioning"
