Relight this photo as if it were taken at [time/light, e.g. golden hour, with low warm sun coming from the right]. Add long soft shadows that match the new sun direction, warm highlights on [surfaces], and a slightly cooler sky gradient. Keep the composition, subjects, poses and all objects identical.

Replace everything in [square brackets] with your own details.

Settings & parameters

• Model: gemini-nano-banana-2.1, same aspect ratio as the source
• Thinking medium is enough; use high for complex interiors

Variations

• "Blue hour with interior lamps glowing through the windows."
• "Overcast soft light, no harsh shadows" for product consistency.
• "Studio three-point lighting" for portraits.

Tips

• Always state the light direction; relighting without it looks flat.
• Relight before you color-grade in an editor.
