Still waiting for a lightbulb moment? Here’s some inspiration from 2019’s winners:

“Corona’s Light Mix was an absolute game-changer. It usually isn't easy to handle high-poly scenes before the final render, but it allowed me to perfectly balance the lights.”

Matteo Morana, Jury Winner 2019

“From the beginning, I knew what kind of lighting I was looking for: I wanted it to be as simple as possible to represent the very first encounter. I thought: ‘This person has just found something they weren’t expecting and wanted to take a picture of it immediately.’”

Aaron Rabago, Public Winner 2019
