How to create this light effect?
- Thread starter lsdawes
- Start date
Extracted held up trophy from a stock photo; placed on a darker background; pasted light patterns overtop (google light swirls); used masks on these swirls to either keep them overtop or behind the hand and trophy; experimented with various blend modes (darken, hard light, etc) of the swirls to best match and blend in.

Great work Gary! It's a nice effect.
The original effect was made from the image of the football player and probably from a moving/motion video of him jumping a celebrating.
You can see his arm, shoulder, and chest in the effect. It was probably not created in Ps.

Thanks Sam. Probably, as you stated but I did think about playing with double exposures of the subject in various opacities. That's as far as I got.

Yeah...that's a great idea as well.
You would probably need several photos or frames of the player in different or progressive poses and stances. Apply some type of smoke/ghosting (motion trail or echoing) effect with distortion from warping and liquify. That's just getting started, there would be many other filters (motion blur, wind,etc.) and adjustment layers.
