Magical Light: The best tutorials to make pictures stand out

It's all about the light. It always is in photography and editing. I had these really ambitious plans of making a tutorial for you about adding magical light to pictures. In my head that was a great and realistic idea. But honestly, I just didn't make it in time.

So instead I tried to find an already existing tutorial and let me tell you, the world doesn't need my tutorials. There are so many amazing tutorials out there already.

So here are my favorite tutorials to add magical light to pictures:

1. Add rays and lens flares to your image with just your smartphone by Creatively Squared

If you check out their Instagram they have posted several tutorials just recently. Every month they have a different theme for their creative community. This month everything is about #cs_flare.

2. How to make a dramatic sky on your phone by THAT ICELANDIC GUY. on TikTok

Arnúlfurs TikTok has so many easy photography and editing tips and the most amazing nature pictures.

3. Dramatic light by rafyA

I used this tutorial for this weeks hashtag challenge #inspire_and_create on Instagram. If you watch rafyA tutorial, you will see that I did some major things differently. I used different stock pictures, created a different hue and obviously used my daughter as a model. But in my opinion that is exactly what tutorials are for. You either do it exactly like in the tutorial to learn the skills or you take inspiration and make it your own.
