Collection Overview Lens Effects

Image by Cally Petersen

Light is more than illumination — it's atmosphere, emotion, and motion within the frame. Lens Effects introduces six carefully crafted optical overlays designed to mimic the natural behaviour of light interacting with a camera lens. Inspired by the subtle flares, reflections, and light blooms that occur when shooting into strong light sources, this set brings dynamic energy and cinematic character to your images — each effect fully repositionable and refineable within Lightroom's Masking Panel.

What's in the set
Six flares. Sculpt the light in every frame.
Lens Effect 01 A soft, subtle atmospheric glow — barely-there warmth that lifts the mood without announcing itself.
Lens Effect 02 A gentle directional flare with a natural lens-coating character — adds warmth and depth to backlit scenes.
Lens Effect 03 A cinematic streak flare with defined geometry — bold and expressive, perfect for portraits and dramatic light.
Lens Effect 04 A multi-element reflection pattern — mimics the cascading light artefacts of complex optics for a truly filmic look.
Lens Effect 05 A strong, radiating bloom — light spilling outward with energy and drama, ideal for golden hour and open sky.
Lens Effect 06 The boldest expression in the set — a full-frame optical event that transforms the scene with sweeping light movement.
Horizontal & Vertical Versions Every effect includes both orientations — ensuring natural integration regardless of how your image is composed.
Colour & Black & White Variations Each effect is available in both colour and monochrome — seamlessly compatible with any editing style or base preset.
