How to shoot a satisfactory backlit portrait or landscape work?

I believe that photographers who are good at lighting like to shoot portraits in the back light. Under the back light, portraits will have beautiful silhouette light and create a beautiful atmosphere. Landscape works often have silhouettes in the backlight, showing distant mountains or other landscape levels, so how should these be photographed? Let's talk about it together

Backlight shooting time

. Generally speaking, morning or evening light is most suitable for portrait shooting, and warm colors and golden silhouette light are the best time for portrait creation.

Selection of shooting angle

. Backlight can be used to shoot portraits from different angles, such as total backlight and semi-backlight. Full backlight can outline the beautiful shape of characters through light modeling, and create a circle of charming side light. Semi-backlight can shape the three-dimensional sense of characters and express their characteristics and artistic conception.

Choice of lens

. Shooting portraits can be represented by various lenses. Under the backlight, on the basis of wide-angle environment, letting light enter the lens will produce charming light channels. If you shoot with telephoto, it is a good choice to express the inner feelings and artistic conception of the characters in the backlight.

Matters needing attention in backlight portrait shooting

. Fill light: Because it is backlight, people's faces will appear underexposed when shooting normally. At this time, it is necessary to fill the light properly. You can use flash, outdoor light or reflector to increase the light on people's faces. Photometry: Generally speaking, we use spot photometry to measure people's faces. Regardless of the overall picture, at least the exposure of the characters' faces should be accurate (except silhouette works).
