Lighting effects can bring any piece to life, turning a dull-looking image to a glowing and vivid artwork.
In my recent works I've been using these kind of techniques a lot, which has attracted many emails asking me how to achieve the glowing effects. Despite lighting effects such as these not being hard to achieve, they do depend on your capability to create a well balanced composition, otherwise it's easy to go over the top and create overly saturated images.
