The difference between chasing light and backlighting

Chasing light is also called frontal light, and the direction of light projection is always the same as that of camera shooting. Backlight: Also known as backlight, the light emitted from the back of the object can only illuminate the outline of the object.

Characteristics of daylight lighting: Compared with other lighting, the dull lighting has no stereoscopic effect, the texture is not very strong, the subject is evenly illuminated, the shadow of the scene is blocked by itself, and the color tone is soft, which can cover up the bumps and wrinkles on the surface of the subject, but it will be dull if it is not handled properly. The three-dimensional sense of the performance space is also very poor. On the other hand, due to the direction of light, the camera is not prone to glare and other problems. After the sunlight is refracted into an appropriate angle by the atmosphere, it can show the blue sky and make the picture transparent, so it is most popular with photographers who like location. The characteristics of backlight: reflect the light of lines and highlight the outline. There are three forms of backlight: front backlight, side backlight and top backlight. In the case of backlight, most scenes are in shadows, and only the outline of the illuminated scene distinguishes this scene from another scene, so there are distinct layers. This kind of light is often used to shoot panoramas and distant views. Because it is necessary to control the light more carefully when using this lighting technology, it is usually considered as a more advanced lighting technology.

Backlight is a kind of lighting with artistic charm and strong expressive force, which can make the picture produce an artistic effect completely different from the actual light we see with the naked eye at the scene. Backlight photography is a means of taking pictures by using light. Broad backlight should include full backlight and side backlight. Its basic characteristics are: from the light level, total backlight is the light emitted from the subject's back to the camera, also known as "backlight"; The side backlight is the light from the camera's left and right 135 back to the subject. The light receiving surface of the subject accounts for 1/3, and the backlight surface accounts for 2/3.
