Method for processing a circular light field comprising the step of receiving or storing a circular light field matrix, wherein the circular light field matrix comprises pixel data for different circumferential angles and for different incidence angles, wherein each circumferential angle represents one intersection point of a light ray with a circle, and each incidence angle represents an angle of incidence of the light ray in the plane of the circle at the one intersection point; and the step of determining a sub set of pixel data of the circular light field matrix relating to a location by determining for each different circumferential angle an incidence angle related to said location.
