neon underglow

The trick to neon underglow is contrast: it needs darkness to pop. Aim for wet pavement or polished concrete—the reflection amplifies the glow and creates a hover effect. Keep the color palette simple; one or two neon hues read as intentional, while a rainbow of tubes feels messy. For maximum drama, shoot from a low angle with a slight ground reflection, and avoid strong ambient light that can wash out the effect.
