Lighting

First and second with sky texture+blackbody
Third - HDRI

I think that the first thing I’d consider doing to this lighting setup is: "adding color." Nothing in nature is “pure white.” Sunlight is a little yellow, and shadows (due to the blue sky) are slightly blue. And, so on.

You can, at your choosing, work only with the “out-the-window light,” or you could inject a little flash-fill. (As a real-world photographer might decide to do.) In any case, experiment with [subtle …] color.

Real-world photographers use something called “gels” to snap in front of their light-boxes. The amount of color they add is tiny – the plastic screens are almost but not quite transparent. Do a little “surfing” on this subject, if you like.

Thanks a lot
