A subject lit by saturated neon signage at night, with magenta and cyan light wrapping around the face. The colored glow creates a moody cinematic atmosphere.

How to do this pose

  1. Stand close to a bright neon sign at night
  2. Angle your face so the colored light rakes across one side
  3. Let the other side fall into shadow for contrast
  4. Hold still as the camera uses a slow shutter

Photography tips

Let the neon be the only light source and expose for the brightest part of the face to keep the colors rich.

Expression

Cool and detached, like you belong to the night.

Camera angle

Tight chest-up framing, slightly low angle toward the sign.
