Tips for Taking Transparent Photos
Harmonize Colors
First, harmonize the colors of the objects in your photo. For instance, using cool colors like white, pale blue, and gray makes it easier to achieve transparency. The key is to unify the overall tone of the photo and keep the contrast low.

Utilize Backlighting
Using backlighting can envelop the subject in light, giving a soft impression. For example, photographing people with backlighting in the evening makes their hair sparkle, enhancing the overall transparency. Side lighting is also effective, as it can bring out both dimensionality and transparency when light is cast from the side.
