Brief introduction of side backlight

In portrait photography, the side backlight is used, and the light-receiving surface of the subject's face and body only accounts for a small part, and the shadow surface accounts for a large part, so the color tone is relatively heavy. Using this lighting method, the stereoscopic effect of the subject is better than that of the forward lighting, but the stereoscopic effect of the part of the image blocked by the shadow is still weak. It is often necessary to improve the brightness of the shadow surface and modify the three-dimensional level of the shadow surface through auxiliary lighting such as reflector and electronic flash. Improve the stereoscopic impression of the shadow part. It is characterized by lighting effect, and the illuminated objects are getting dimmer and dimmer. There are bright spots on the illuminated side of the object, which can well show the three-dimensional sense of the object and have rich layers. In location shooting, this kind of light can better show the perspective effect of the atmosphere. When shooting close-ups and close-ups, it is sometimes used as the main light and sometimes as a decorative light. It is necessary to determine the light ratio according to the use of the side backlight, so as to avoid a large area of a person's face being too dark and having only one bright line. Side backlight lighting has a strong sense of space, and the picture is rich in color and lively. On sunny days, the exterior of the back hill and the interior of the water room are backlit.

The light shoots from the back of the subject to the subject. This light is aimed at the camera. The light illuminates the back of the main body. {The illumination light emitted from the oblique front (left front or right front) of the camera and forming an included angle of about120 ~150 with the optical axis of the lens is called side backlight. }
