Cinematic Studio Lighting Grid FAQ

Do I need to upload a professional studio portrait?

No—any clear portrait photo works. The AI recreates your subject under each lighting style regardless of the original lighting conditions. A well-lit selfie, headshot, or casual portrait all produce excellent results.

What are the six lighting styles included in the grid?

The grid features loop lighting (soft directional with nose shadow), hard frontal flash (flat, high-contrast), split lighting (dramatic half-lit face), butterfly lighting (glamorous top-down), Rembrandt lighting (triangular cheek highlight), and gobo patterns (textured shadow effects). Each is labeled beneath its panel.

Does the person's face stay the same across all six panels?

Yes. The AI preserves the subject's identity, likeness, facial features, and general pose across all variations—only the lighting setup changes from panel to panel.

Can I use this to plan lighting for video or film projects?

Absolutely. Directors and cinematographers use these grids to visualize how different lighting moods will look on actors before shoot day, saving time and budget during pre-production planning.

What if I want to see more than six lighting styles?

Upload the same photo multiple times or experiment with different source portraits. Each generation gives you six distinct techniques, and you can combine grids in your own layouts for expanded reference libraries.

How do I know which lighting setup is which?

Each of the six panels is clearly labeled beneath with the lighting technique name—loop, split, butterfly, hard flash, Rembrandt, and gobo—so you can instantly identify and reference each style.
