Have you ever wondered how a photo can change your entire personality. I am talking about a photo in which you are standing in the dark of the night and a glowing orange neon ring behind you creates a magical aura around your head. Your face is half in light and half in shadow and there is a story in your eyes that attracts everyone. This is not a scene from a film but a photo idea that can make your social media profile a star. Today I am going to share with you such a technical and artistic concept that will make your photo different from all others. So let’s dive into this story.
I still remember the day when I went to my friend’s photography studio. He is passionate about photography and keeps trying to do something new every time. That day he showed me a photo. A silhouette of a boy with a glowing orange neon ring behind him. That photo was so amazing that I just kept looking at it. The face was not clearly visible in it nor was there any detail in the background, yet the picture seemed to be speaking. I asked my friend how did you make it. He laughed and said that it was just a little magic of light, a little technique and a lot of creativity.
After that I decided to understand this concept myself. Today I am sharing the same with you. This photo idea is not only for photography lovers but also for those who want to do something new by combining technology and creativity. Whether you are a tech blogger, Instagram influencer or just want to make your profile unique, this concept is for you.
What is special about this picture? In normal pictures we see the face, clothes or background. But this concept has the magic of light and shadow. This picture presents your personality in a mysterious way. The glowing orange neon ring behind your head creates a halo effect as if you are a superhero or an artist lost in deep thought. The mood of this picture is dramatic and mysterious. This not only shows your technical skills if you shoot it yourself but also brings out your creative side. Whether you post it on Instagram, use it in your LinkedIn profile or include it in your portfolio, this picture will be seen everywhere.
Now the question is how to make such a picture. Even if you are new to photography, there is no need to panic. This concept is not as complicated as it looks. All you need is a little patience and some basic tools. The most important thing is an orange neon ring light. You can buy it online or if you have an RGB light then set it to orange mode. Place it behind you so that it creates a halo around your head. The darker the background the better. Use a black cloth or a dark room so that the glow of the neon ring emerges. If you have a DSLR or mirrorless camera then use low ISO 100 to 200 and wide aperture F2.8 or F4. If you are shooting from mobile then turn on portrait mode. For the pose, stand in profile and look to the left. Give your hair a slightly textured look so that the light reflects on it.
Now it’s your turn. I’m giving you a prompt that you can use to make your photo even more amazing. Copy it and insert it into your photo editing tool like Midjourney Photoshop or Canva AI.
A dramatic profile portrait with a silhouette of a man with dark textured hair looking to the left. Behind him is a bright orange neon ring that creates a halo effect around his head. The background should be dark so that the glow of the neon ring and the silhouette stand out. The lighting should be strong to highlight the edges of the face and hair. The mood should be mysterious and artistic with a focus on light and shadow. And attach your photo.
Upload your photo with this prompt and see how your photo turns magical.
