A lookbook only works if the product looks the same in every image: same color, same shape, same details, whether it’s shot from the front, in a lifestyle scene or worn by a model. This guide walks through making a consistent lookbook with Glif, using the Create Product Lookbooks workflow. What you’ll need: product photos and a sense of your brand direction. Estimated cost: 25–100 credits, depending on how many images you make.

Step 1: Gather your product photos

Consistency starts with good references.
  • Shoot or collect photos of the product from several angles: front, back, side and any important details.
  • Use a plain background and even light.
  • Make sure colors are accurate and labels or logos are sharp.
  • If you have colorways or variants, photograph each one.

Step 2: Decide your brand direction

Before you start, write down a few lines on the look you want. For example:
  • Mood: “warm, relaxed, Mediterranean summer”
  • Settings: “stone terrace, linen, olive trees, whitewashed walls”
  • Light: “late afternoon sun, long soft shadows”
  • Palette: “sand, terracotta, olive, off-white”
  • People (optional): “one model, relaxed poses, face partly visible”
If you’d rather use a ready-made look, choose a Style. If the same person should appear throughout, cast a Character.

Step 3: Start the lookbook

Open the Create Product Lookbooks workflow and send its starting message:
“Create a product lookbook for my e-commerce brand”
Then upload your product photos and share your brand direction. A complete first message might look like:
“Create a product lookbook for my e-commerce brand. The product is this linen shirt (photos attached: front, back, collar detail). Direction: warm, relaxed Mediterranean summer; stone terrace and olive trees; late afternoon sun; palette of sand, terracotta and olive. I need 8 images: 2 studio shots on a sand-colored backdrop, 3 lifestyle shots on a terrace, 2 close-up details of the fabric and buttons, and 1 wide hero shot. All 4:5. The shirt’s color, collar and buttons must stay exactly as in the photos.”

Step 4: Plan the shot list

A lookbook reads well when it mixes framings. A useful mix: Ask for the whole set in one message so lighting and styling match across images.

Step 5: Review for consistency

Lay the images side by side and check:
  • Color: is it the same shade everywhere?
  • Shape and proportions: does anything look stretched or altered?
  • Details: buttons, stitching, labels, logos, hardware
  • Light and mood: do all images feel like one shoot?
  • People: if there’s a model, is it the same person throughout?

Step 6: Fix what’s off

Be specific about what to change and what to keep:
“In image 4, the shirt is too pale. Match the color in images 1–3. Change nothing else.”
“Image 6 has the wrong collar shape. Use the collar from the original photo. Keep the pose and background.”

Step 7: Extend the lookbook

Once you’re happy with the set, keep working in the same chat to add more:
  • Colorways: “Make the same eight shots for the olive version (photo attached).”
  • Seasonal refresh: “Same product and shot list, but autumn: warm interior, wool throw, low golden light.”
  • Ad sizes: “Resize images 1, 3 and 8 to 9:16 for Stories.”
  • Motion: “Turn the hero shot into a slow 5-second camera move for Reels.”

Tips for staying consistent

  • One chat per lookbook. Glif uses earlier images to keep later ones consistent.
  • Upload multiple angles of the product, not just one.
  • Repeat the non-negotiables (“color, collar and buttons exactly as in the photos”) whenever you ask for new images.
  • Use one Style or one written direction for the whole set.
  • Use a Character for on-model shots so the same person appears throughout.
  • Save it as a Skill if you’ll make lookbooks for many products: ask Glif to “turn this lookbook into a skill I can reuse for other products.” See Skills.

Consistency rules

  • Request the full shot list in one call; continue in the same project_id for fixes, colorways and resizes.
  • Pass every available product angle in asset_ids.
  • Restate fixed attributes (color, shape, hardware, logo) in every follow-up prompt.
  • For on-model shots, cast one Character for the whole set.
  • After delivery, prompt the user to compare color, shape and details across all images and against the source photos.
