Backlighting

THIS VIDEO: In photography 101 we are told that the best snaps happen when we have the sun on our back and the subject directly in front of us. While this method is solid advice, its often not the most interesting approach. Straightforward lighting can make one’s subject look bland or washed out in harsh light. Phorographers often experience a resistance to moving into a position where the sun is shining towards the lens, because it becomes less controllable. That’s true, but it also provides opportunities to inject a sense of drama and mood into your photographs.
