Looking for lighting references

Getting references for lighting a virtual film is paramount for achieving realism and visual coherence in the digital world. References provide a solid foundation for understanding how real-world lighting behaves, helping CG artists replicate those effects convincingly. They guide decisions on color, intensity, direction, and shadows, ensuring that the virtual elements seamlessly blend with the live-action or digital environment.

References can be found on sites such as FILMGRAB (https://film-grab.com/), Pinterest (https://www.pinterest.com/), ArtStation (https://www.artstation.com/), and ShotDeck (https://shotdeck.com/).

Note

ShotDeck is a subscription-based service that provides extensive information on each movie shot, including color scheme, aspect ratio, film format, frame size, shot type, lens size, type of composition, lighting type, and so on, which is very useful for filmmakers. There is a 2-week trial with no up-front payment information...
