How the Image Was Created

The White Fiber Optic was used to create the soft glowing texture near the model’s hand, while the Halo Filter created the large circular light frame around her. Atmosphere Aerosol Spray was added to the scene to create a dreamy haze that made the light more visible and dimensional.
