The role of side backlight in indoor wedding photography and under what circumstances

Side backlight is generally used as side light and hairstyle light. By brightening the figure's outline and hair, the figure is separated from the background, and the sense of spatial layering is stronger. Especially when shooting single-light or low-key images, the side backlight plays a greater role to prevent people from losing their sense of space when they blend into the background. Side backlight is generally a hard light source, such as a honeycomb lamp, which can control the light range well. The soft box can also be used as a side backlight when shooting high-definition soft light images. The bride's long hair style must use side backlight, and people with fat faces can also use side backlight to achieve the effect of face-lifting. Pay attention to the placement of the side backlight to avoid the phenomenon that the lens is eaten up or the human nose leaks light, and the intensity is about one grade weaker than the main light.
