Focus: The subject itself is the emphasis.
Definition: The subject is positioned with a light source behind them, so the camera captures the subject against that light.
Effect: The subject may appear darker, with rim lighting around edges (hair, shoulders).
Usage: Portraits, fashion, or street photography where the subject’s outline and glow are important.
Challenge: Subject exposure can be tricky — often requires fill flash, reflectors, or exposure compensation.
Backlight Photography
Focus: The lighting technique.
Definition: Any photography that uses a light source behind the subject, regardless of whether the subject is the main focus.
Effect: Creates atmosphere, depth, and contrast. Can produce silhouettes (輪廓), glowing edges, or dramatic mood.
Usage: Landscape (sunset silhouettes), product photography (transparent objects), creative effects.
Challenge: Managing flare and overexposure of the background.
Practical Tips
For portraits: Use partial metering on the face to keep the subject properly exposed.
For silhouettes: Use evaluative metering so the background is exposed correctly and the subject stays dark.
Extra help: Add fill flash or a reflector to brighten the subject, or use exposure compensation (+1 to +2 EV).
