Back Lighting Back lighting is by far the hardest to work with at the beginning because it requires knowledge on how to use your phone camera or how to use the manual setting on your professional camera. Compared to the other two sets of light this one pushes all the shadows onto the subject’s face, meaning that it can either turn the subject into a black silhouette if the subject is underexposed or it can make the subject stand out if the background is overexposed. By overexposing the background all of the light shadows are in the front of the subject which will make the subject’s face light and the background white. By underexposing the subject all the light shadows move onto the background which will turn the subject into a dark silhouette and will make the background lighter. This is more complicated however backlighting can create incredible photos.
