AI product photography for lamps and lighting

A lamp has two jobs to show: how it looks as an object, and what it does to a room once it's on. Start from one snapshot and get both, plus silo shots, finish variants and spec-sheet drawings.

What to show

What lighting shoppers need to see

The light it gives

Shoppers want to know how a lamp feels once it's on. Describe an evening scene with the lamp switched on, and show the glow next to the daytime shot.

AI Lifestyle Image Generator

Its true size

On a white background a 16-inch lamp and a 30-inch lamp look alike. Tell us its real height and shade size, and the scene is built around them. Check the scale before you publish.

AI Lifestyle Image Generator

Base and shade, clearly

A silo shot on pure white shows the base color, the shade shape and the proportions without distraction. Transparent PNGs are included.

Silo Shot Generator

Every glaze, metal and shade

Name the part that changes, like the ceramic base or the shade, and list the finishes. Only that part changes.

Variant Builder

Spec sheets

Clean line drawings with height and shade size drawn in, for product pages, line sheets and trade buyers.

Line Drawing Generator

A little movement

A 5-second clip with a slow push-in. Light shifting across a room sells the mood better than a still.

Day and night

Show the lamp off, then on

A daytime shot shows the lamp as an object: the glaze, the shape, the shade. An evening shot shows what it does: the pool of warm light on a nightstand or a side table.

Use the daytime image where color accuracy matters most, like the main image and variant pages, and the evening image in the gallery, ads and social posts.

Every glaze and finish from one photo

The original sage lamp photo — One photo of the sage lamp and three glazes made from it. Only the ceramic base changed; the shade stayed linen.

The lamp with a deep navy gloss base — One photo of the sage lamp and three glazes made from it. Only the ceramic base changed; the shade stayed linen.

Name the part precisely ("the ceramic base", "the shade") and describe each finish by color, material and sheen: "deep navy gloss glaze", "brushed brass", "natural linen". Check every variant against a real sample before it goes live. More in our colorway guide.

Getting a good snapshot of a lamp

Photograph it switched off. A lit shade blows out to white in a phone photo and hides its color and texture. The light can be added in the scene.
Straighten the shade and tuck the cord behind the base.
Turn the flash off. It makes hard glare on glazed ceramic, glass and polished metal.
Shoot from about the middle height of the lamp so the base isn't distorted and the shade isn't seen from underneath.
Write down the height, shade width and finishes while you have it in front of you.

Place your lamp in a styled room by day or after dark.
