Step 18 – Adding Lights And Shadows on the Body

As you can see on the preview picture the lightest part of the picture is the sky on the right side. This will be our light source. In this step we will add lights on the right part of women´s body and shadows on the left part.

Add new layer on the top of your layers and name it e.g. LIGHTS ON THE BODY. Grab the Gradient Tool (G), pick #808080 grey color and fill the layer. Change Blending Mode on Overlay. Grab Dodge Tool (O), set the Exposure on 50% and paint over the areas which should be lighter. Than gran Burn Tool and paint over the areas which should be darker as it´s shown bellow:

Step 19 – Adding Lights To The Sky

It this step we will make the light source bit stronger. Add new layer on the top of your layers and name it LIGHT SOURCE. Grab the Brush Tool (B), select some big, soft, round brush, pick white color and lower Opacity on 50%. Now paint a dott over the lightest part of the sky. Bellow you can see what I mean:

This layer adds nice diffuse light and increase the contrast of the whole picture.

Step 20 – Adding Lens Flare

To increase the light little more we will add lens flare. Add new layer on the top of your layers and name it LENS FLARE. Grab the Gradient Tool (G) and fill the layer with solid black color. Now go to Filter > Render > Lens Flare… and choose type of the flare you like. I used 105 mm Prime. Your flare should not touch the borders because you´re moving it later and it wouldn´t look realistic if you have only part of the flare.

Change the Blending Mode of the LENS FLARE on Screen. Grab the Move Tool (V) and place the brightest part of the flare in the center of the white circle you´ve painted in previous step.

To get more realistic result you can rotate the flare or lower the opacity. Bellow it´s shown how your manipulation should look:
