Power: How strong will your light source be? You can zoom your strobe to use the light as a bounce/fill or you can power up to create flare lines.

BacklightingLights

Backlight, or back lighting, is any light source that comes from behind your subject. However, backlighting is a more general term, and can be used to describe a broad range of lighting from rim light to a “kicker” light. Whether it is technically correct or not to use the term backlight to describe any and every form of lighting that comes from behind is not as important as simply understanding what another photographer is referring to.

Finally, it’s time to add in our light. Here are the three most important characteristics to consider when perfecting your backlight:

The curvature of a lens can affect the object and image distance. A lens with a greater curvature will have a shorter focal length and will require objects to be placed closer to the lens in order to form an image.

Silhouettes are much more interesting when the subjects are placed against the brightest portion of the scene. If that doesn’t exist, then create a highlight with your backlight. If you are using your backlight to bring light into a darker part of the scene like the sample above, then find a unique composition that draws the attention to that point like we did with this mural.

The goal of backlighting, from an artistic and technical standpoint, is usually to help separate a subject from a background, and bring emphasis to that subject in dark conditions, having a backlight can be especially helpful, and sometimes it can actually serve as the ONLY major light source in a dramatic silhouette photo.

Color: Will it be gelled for creative or corrective effect? Depending on your in-camera white balance setting, you can gel your flash to match your existing light or work against it.

In post-production, dealing with backlighting can be difficult, if your subject is in deep shadow, however both silhouette images and brightly exposed images can work, if the editing fits the mood of the scene, pose, etc.

Changing the object distance can change the size of the image formed by a lens. If the object distance is increased, the image will appear smaller and if the object distance is decreased, the image will appear larger.

The object distance and image distance in a lens are inversely proportional to each other. This means that as the object distance increases, the image distance decreases and vice versa.

Distance: How far will the light be from the subject(s)? The further away you place the light the more light spill you will have.

What isbacklight in photography

Since the actual technique is relatively simple, these tips are going to help you think creatively to get the most out of what is otherwise known as a silhouette. In the first example, when faced with a rather mundane hotel room, we first imagined what the room would look like underexposed, and then set our ambient exposure to the desired settings to create a backlit photo using this screen door. You can see the full tutorial on how we arrived at the final image on the right in Photographing the Couple.

No, the object and image distance can never be the same in a lens. This is because the lens is used to refract light rays and create an image, so the light rays must travel different distances in order to form an image.

When faced with challenging scenes or short on time, pulling out a pocket strobe and placing it behind our subjects creates something pretty spectacular.  Here are a the steps to using a flash as a backlight for impactful Images

Backlight can definitely come from any light source, including the sun on a bright day, or a wireless flash on a dark night.

If the object is placed at the focal point of a lens, the image distance will become infinite. This is because the light rays from the object will become parallel and will not converge to form an image.
