Knowledge Corner: Backlit

Backlighting is a light that comes from the camera's face and forms a light angle of about 170° to 180° with the lens axis. When backlit, most of the subject is in the shadows, the tone is relatively heavy, and the three-dimensional sense of the shadow surface is also weak. In most cases, when shooting with backlight, it is necessary to modify the shadow side of the subject through auxiliary lighting means, or to retain the level of the shadow surface of the subject by increasing the amount of exposure By increasing the amount of exposure, it is best to use the environment of the dark tone as the background of the subject to set off the bright outline of the subject and bring the subject out of the environment.
