Much of my creative photography is blended and created with atmospheric textures. I find that it can add to so many elements, whether it be a painterly effect, depth, mood or story telling. Often it just helps the image blend as a whole too. Here I talk about placing smokey and steamy overlays into your portrait work to enhance its mood. I've also created an atmospheric smokey overlay pack for download below.
