Also known as komorebi, leaf shadows, filtered sunlight, mottled light, forest light, shadow patterns, soft shade
Soft, scattered patches of light and shadow created when a direct light source is filtered through a dense screen of foliage, leaves, or window blinds.
Dappled light (often referred to as komorebi in Japanese) mimics the natural filtering of sunlight through leaves. It introduces organic, soft-edged shadow patterns that break up flat surfaces and add a sense of outdoor tranquility.
Where to apply: Natural portraits, serene interiors, outdoor fashion photography, and architectural facades to evoke warmth, peace, and natural realism.
