Simple One Light Backlight Effect
Loading...
Uploaded by PhotoJoeEdelman on Jan 14, 2011
I love to use the backlighting effect for the purity and dream like quality that it delivers every time. It allows me to create images that are as if I am experiencing my subject first hand when I look at the finished product.
1 light, a few white walls or reflectors, a medium to long telephoto lens and limited depth of field are all you need to get the job done. Well of course a beautiful subject is important as well.
It also doesn't hurt that this technique can be done easily outdoors -- but that will be another lesson.

@dudley206098 Awesome! Glad to hear it! Silver Efex would definitely allow you to get the contrast back into the shot very effectively.
