Backlighting is a situation where the subject happens to be between the light source and the camera, which can easily cause the subject to be underexposed. In general, photographers should try to avoid shooting objects in backlit conditions, but sometimes the special effects produced by backlighting are also a technique of art photography.
Backlighting is a kind of lighting with artistic charm and strong expressiveness, which can make the picture produce an artistic effect that is completely different from the actual light that we see with the naked eye on the scene.
Backlit photography is a means of photographic lighting. Backlighting in a broad sense should include both full backlight and side backlight.
