Where it works
- A window-lit portrait
- Sunlight through foliage
- A softly backlit subject
Placement
Behind the subject, aligned with an existing light source.
In the edit
- 01
Match the existing light direction. Use projected-patterns on a receiving surface; use volumetric-rays in the air.
- 02
Use Screen and adjust opacity. Match projection perspective and mask light away from other depth planes.
- 03
Anchor edge-entry light to the canvas edge; do not leave a hard boundary inside the image.
A second light direction that contradicts the original photograph.
