Each guide breaks down one look from WINDOWLIGHT’s published style library. Copy the prompt, change the subject and compare the result. Outputs depend on the model, reference images and settings: the sample is a style reference, not a promise of an identical result.
Keep your subject and composition fixed while changing one lighting or color decision at a time. This makes it easier to understand what improved the result.
