The material guide
Choose the layer.
Match the viewpoint.
Add an effect to an existing photograph, choose a location for a family portrait or give a headshot a studio backdrop. Each family has a specific role and way of working.
Light & Atmosphere
Light, fog, smoke and weather for the photograph you already have.
Natural Light
Directional rays, soft window light and gentle backlight for photographs with an existing light source.
Fog & Haze
Ground fog and light veils of haze for separating a subject from the distance without hiding the photograph.
Smoke & Steam
Local wisps, rising steam and small clouds with a clear origin and room for the subject.
Dust & Weather
Airborne dust, falling snow and rain, with density, scale and focus chosen for distinct depth layers.
Creative Effects
Analog finishing layers and dramatic effects for deliberately stylised composites.
Portrait Scenes
Photographic locations for children, families and adults, plus studio textures for closer portraits.
Studio Backdrops
Single vertical planes of fabric, plaster and painted texture for head-and-shoulders or half-length portrait composites. No floor or room perspective.
Photographic Scenes
Empty photographic locations for children, families and adults. Choose a setting that matches your subject’s light, viewpoint and pose.
