Rim light refers to that gorgeous rim of light that outlines your subject (often being the most noticeable in the hair of your subjects).  I love this effect because it adds depth to your image by separating your subject from the background so well and drawing the viewer’s eye to your subject.  It literally makes your subject glow.  What could be more flattering than that?  Again, the sun must be fairly low to achieve this effect. This is best achieved when the area behind your subject is dark (think grass or trees).  Often times, I prefer not to have the sun hitting my lens, or it can overpower my subjects, not allowing for noticeable rim light.  One trick I utilize a lot is to keep my subject in front of the sun, but I will stand in shade that is close by, just to be sure the sun is not hitting my lens.  I like to expose for the shadow of my subjects’ skin to achieve this effect.  This way I know my subject is exposed properly and it allows that rim of light around my subject to be nice and bright.

What is backlight in photography

I can place my subject in-between me and the sun and get so many different effects. I can create a sun-soaked, low contrast dreamy image or even a dramatic, moody image with emphasis on shadows. Here are some examples and how to achieve the desired result.

If given the choice of any lighting situation, I always choose backlight, no matter my subject. It is magical and it is flattering and believe it or not…versatile.

Tips: Exposure is key with backlighting.  In order to produce varied effects, you must expose according to your vision.  Basically, shooting manual is a must when trying to manipulate backlighting situations.  Another important aspect of shooting into light is your metering mode.  Spot metering is my recommendation because it allows your meter to read a very specific point in your frame, therefore making intended exposure much easier.

I challenge you to go out and try each one of these effects.  It takes practice, but really, it doesn’t have to be over-complicated.  Don’t be afraid to play around until you get the hang of it.  And the best part is that you can get all 3 of these effects in the same location as long as the conditions are right!  Good luck.

Haze is achieved by shooting into sunlight.  The light must hit your lens to get that haze or flare effect.  It fills your image with a magical, dreamy quality and adds a lot of interest to a photograph (and sometimes, you can even get rainbows).  It is not necessary to aim straight at the sun.  Usually, I find that angling my camera slightly to the side or down while still including the sun in my frame works best for pretty haze. It is also crucial that the sun is low in the sky.  A softer sun is preferable if you are looking for that golden color (and it’s also easier on your eyes when taking the photo).  Expose for your subject’s skin in this case.  This may mean an overexposed sky but, that’s okay as long as important aspects of your subjects are not losing any detail.

Yes, silhouettes are achieved with backlighting. I love silhouettes because of the sense of anonymity.  Often, viewers can’t tell who exactly they are looking at, which is why form is so important.  Viewers must be able to recognize what is being portrayed in the photo.  You don’t want everything blending in together.  Exposure for silhouettes is pretty simple by metering for the sky or the background; so essentially underexpose your subject, making the subject a shadow.
