A photography lighting system operative to impart patterns of complimentary colors that mimic the ambient light of natural surroundings creating a faithful rendering of the subject. The patterns include sinusoidal (sine waves) and other shapes that act to blend the colors and also help to accentuate a three-dimensional rendering of the subject. This invention gives the illusion of a soft white light source but with the added desirable qualities of minimizing imperfections and improving the “natural look” of human faces, especially with digital photography, and designed to replace traditional uniform lighting instruments (soft boxes) and reflection (bounce) cards.
