Add Light Streaks to a Photo with Photoshop

This tutorial comes from Photoshop Essentials.com, and it shows us how to create vivid light streaks that dance around your photo or graphic. 




A lot of commercials and print ads use variations of this a lot to demonstrate that an item is graceful and airy(ex: Revlon Makeup Advertisement) and on the other hand, it can be used to show that an item is edgy and mature(5 Gum Advertisement). 

Some practice with this would give some great looking portfolio work, especially if you pushed the limits of the idea further.
