Fake neon puddles indoors

Transcript

Put the phone screen flat and close to the lens, then tilt it until the reflection lands in the lower frame like a mirror trick. Use magenta, cyan, and blue light, because strong color and white balance shifts are what keep the image feeling neon instead of plain. Then get low, keep the reflective surface still, and angle the camera so the reflection stretches wide like a puddle on a rain-slick street. If you add a dark room, a clean mirror, and a phone screen shown only as a framing tool, the illusion stays sleek instead of looking like a selfie.
