80 Light Leak Overlays for Creating Vibrant Photo Effects

In my video tutorial last week I made use of my old pack of light leak overlays. I’ve used those graphics in loads of my own photos over the years, so I took some time to produce a fresh batch in a totally new style. This new pack of Light Leak Overlays contains 80 high-res overlay images of light flares and bokeh effects in a variety of shapes, colours and layouts. Made using a camera, a torch and coloured film, these effects are made naturally, which adds an extra level of authenticity compared to digitally created light leak effects.

This pack of light leak overlays contains 80 JPG images at a size of 3000x2000px. With so many unique flares to choose from, you’ll be able to find the perfect effect to suit the composition of your photo, from subtle red leaks from the edge of the picture, to vibrant flares that burn out a large portion of the image. Open your desired light leak in an image editing program and paste the graphic over your photograph, scaled to fit the canvas. Set the blending mode to Screen to make the black background invisible and produce a vibrant effect where the colours of the flare interact with your picture.
