Can natural window light score high?

Yes if direction, diffusion, and exposure are stable.

How avoid flat light?

Introduce controlled shadow depth and face contouring.

Does lighting affect fashion fit?

Indirectly yes, by improving garment and silhouette readability.

How to Improve Lighting Score in BModel

BModel data-driven playbook. Use this with your audit report for faster iteration.

Stable light quality often improves multiple downstream metrics at once.

Priority Fixes from Your Report

Center the subject and keep consistent headroom.
Avoid overexposed highlights and deep shadows.
Use higher resolution photos for better results.

Keep Doing

Keep lighting soft and even across the face.
Maintain simple styling and clean backgrounds.

Why This Metric Matters

Lighting quality drives readability of skin, silhouette, and garment structure. Poor light can hide strengths that are otherwise present in pose and styling.

How BModel Measures It

BModel uses exposure balance, shadow/highlight distribution, contrast behavior, and scene clarity signals to estimate technical readiness.

Fix It Now: 5 Actions

Use one main light source at 35-45 degrees to face and torso.
Avoid mixed white-balance sources in the same frame.
Expose for skin detail first, then adjust wardrobe separation.
Check histogram and retake if highlights clip on face or garment.
Keep background simple to preserve edge readability.

Common Mistakes

Strong backlight without controlled fill.
Flat front light that kills garment depth.
Over-editing contrast, creating fake texture.
Changing lighting pattern per image inside the same set.

7-Day Improvement Protocol

Day 1: choose one indoor setup and test three distances.
Day 2: run 20-frame exposure ladder and keep best two levels.
Day 3-4: retake final set with fixed exposure baseline.
Day 5: verify face and garment highlights at 100% zoom.
Day 6-7: submit and compare lighting-related score movement.
