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”
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_idfor 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.
