Is there a way of making daylight photos look they were took at night? (alien.top)

I mean not photos where the sun appears or we see sky etc…

I’m referring for example to a pic took at home and the light from the window hitting the wall tells who is looking that it was took during the day, another example, took a photo of a face and the light from the window hits the face and tells it is day but not directly showing the window or sky for reference.

So basically I think it would be a light/balance/curve editing… Anyone has a link of a tutorial about it, preferably for mobile. Thanks!!

If you want to make something look like it was taken at night, take it at night, or indoors separated from the sunlight.

If you have an existing photo and can post it, that would give us strangers on the Internet some idea of how much work it might be to modify it. But no, it probably is not as simple as light/balance/curve editing.

I think I'm having difficulty understanding your question because it seems so off the wall.

Actually is hard to explain, that’s why I was no able to find a tutorial 😂

But I’ll try to give a simple example: imagine a room and 1 the first scenario it’s all closed only with artificial light (like a light bulb or a lampshade), and the 2nd scenario is the same room but now with a window in it and the daylight (natural light) now lighting the room.

Both photos of a subject and the whole room will look different and can be noticed, and I wanted to transform the photo taken in that day/natural light photo and make it look it was taken in the artificial one, without having to actually go and the the photo with the natural light (so its post editing).
