But there is a point of distinction to be observed. Both lend and loan can offer someone the temporary use of something, but loan can refer only to money or physical objects. For figurative senses, as when Mark Antony says, “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears,” only lend will do.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

While the pop-up flash is a little unflattering, the method of lighting subjects from the front is probably the most common way of lighting portraits, and can be flattering when combined with diffusers. However, few photographers make it through the maze of off-camera lighting to discover just how beautiful a back light can be. When I talk about a back light, I'm referring to any lighting that illuminates the background, or the subject from behind. So let me put my argument to you for using the back light as your main light source, and show you how I approach it to create elegantly balanced portraits.

I used a Yongnuo YN685 flashgun with a Yongnuo YN622N wireless trigger set on a block, hidden behind my subject. I shot handheld with my Nikon D750 set to manual mode at: f/2.8, 1/1000 sec, and ISO100. I engaged high speed sync on my Nikon (called Auto-FP) to ensure the flash worked with such a fast shutter speed. Without doing this, only one half of the frame would've been lit.

Too often portrait photographers obsess with key and fill lighting, and forget about the light that illuminates the background or rear of a subject. In this piece I discover the power of using the back light as my main light source.

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

I used a bare flash initially and found the light was harsher, and too bright in just one small area. Notice how the blue also spills onto the background — this was intentional. By lighting up the darker, black shadowy portions of the background I'm generating a cohesiveness from my foreground subject to my background.

I ran with the silhouette idea and decided to come in close for a headshot. Now, I'm a sucker for a side profile shot — there's something about the graceful curves of the face that reminds me of a treble clef on a stave of music. I find each person's profile is unique and a bit of a facial-equivalent of a fingerprint, so by back lighting in this way we can create a wonderful silhouette that you wouldn't otherwise see in a headshot that was lit from the front.

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you've ever used the pop-up flash on your camera you'll know that there's more to lighting subjects than just taking them outside and photographing them under the sun. In fact, most portrait photographers focus on getting a good main (or "key") light first by blasting their subject with a flash gun in order to correctly expose their subjects.

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

As you can tell, I've used a CTB (color temperature blue) gel on my other flash. That's because I wanted my subject to stand out against the orange backdrop, so I cooled it down with the blue. A blue and orange mix is common in editing, and is notably found in blockbuster films like Mad Max: Fury Road where the interplay between warm and cool tones reflect the mood.

On investigation, we can find out that loan as a verb has quite the pedigree in English, with Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage pointing out that it has been current since the early 14th century. We’ve been loaning for 700 years.

Loan as a verb was common in Britain in the 18th century, and so it was in use by British Colonists who settled in America. The usage survived in what became the United States but faded in Britain.

In the 19th century, an American grammarian, Richard Grant White, noticed the difference and proclaimed that loan was a noun and should only be used as such. He based this edict, Merriam-Webster’s explains, on a mistaken etymology. But it got into the textbooks and usage manuals, and with the “monkey see, monkey do” pattern of textbook publishing, the prohibition has survived despite common usage.

From the Middle East to Europe, one of the biggest questions today is: How many Syrians who fled their homes during the civil war will return? Dominique Soguel offers the first glimpses of an answer today.My attention turns to the al-Khansour family, who stayed in Syria, resettling in the city run by the rebels who now control the country. It is a slice of what Syria was – and perhaps could be.

The survival of loan as a verb in the U.S. and its disfavor in Britain is a reminder that in language usage, as in clothing and furniture, fashion – yes, I said fashion – plays a crucial role. Words are not Platonic ideals with a separate existence. We make them up, collectively, and decide what they mean, collectively. Then we alter what they mean, collectively, not by logic or design, but by the changing of our tastes and preferences.

A second back light provides a splash of detail across an otherwise featureless area without needing to light from the front

I also placed a full CTO (color temperature orange) gel on my flashgun so that it would give a nice warm, orange glow when bounced off the white wall behind. By aiming the flashgun at the wall and bouncing the light set to 1/16 power, it gave a good burst of light around the center of my subject.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Sometimes I like to highlight form and shape by placing a flashgun behind my subject to light the wall. It's with this flash of light that I can then create a silhouette. Similar to playing with shadow puppets my viewers are now less focused on the features of my portrait subject and their clothing, and instead pay attention to the outline which is especially good for action-based postures.

My second, blue gelled back light aims directly at my subject to provide a thin tracing line of light on her face. It also blends in with the orange on the wall a little too which adds to the mood

In case you need backing, Merriam-Webster’s says that “although a surprising number of critics still voice objections, ‘loan’ is entirely standard as a verb.” The American Heritage Dictionary concurs: It “has seen vigorous use in American English and must be considered standard.”

Next time, instead of starting with lighting at the front of the subject, take a second to consider the power of the back light. I find it exudes character, allows you to highlight special features on subjects, and create painterly portraits that wouldn't look amiss from the portfolio of classic painters. Mixing color with the lighting helps to create subject and backdrop separation, and look for catch lights in the eyes for that added sparkle.

The verbing of nouns and the nouning of verbs are common in English. Open a dictionary at random and you almost surely see definitions of a word in both noun and verb senses. If you have access to a historical dictionary, like the Oxford English Dictionary, you can see which sense arose first, but it doesn’t matter; both senses are there now.

It is likely that someone taught you that lend is a verb and loan a noun, never the two to be confused. “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today” is Popeye’s friend Wimpy’s request for a loan; to give Wimpy money for a hamburger is to lend it. And yet, such is people’s obstinacy, you will hear them talk about loaning things, many things.

With the flashgun set to 1/16 power I experimented with camera settings until I had my subject exposed correctly. I changed the aperture from f/2.2 to f/2.8 to provide slighly more depth of field and sped up the shutter speed from 1/1250 sec to 1/1000 sec to compensate for the exposure shift

I hid the flash gun behind my subject by placing it on a block and having the subject pose in front of it. It also has an orange gel on the flash so as to burst a pop of color on the white wall behind

If you want some detail on the face I would argue you still don't need to light from the front. I decided to place another back light behind my subject, camera-left to illuminate the side of her face. By lighting my portrait short (lighting the smallest side of the face relative to the camera) it still kept the strong shadow to the right of her face, but also gave splashes of detail on the face and neck. I even managed to capture a catch light on my subject's left eye (right in the photo) which adds a pop of interest to an otherwise featureless shadowy area.

This method of lighting is so powerful. It's full of character, and rather charming. I can now see my subject, but at the same time she is also still barely lit. Just a trace of light follows her outline, but the rear orange light allows the face to shine through, cutting across the plain backdrop.

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.
