Backlighting
Author: Nathalie St-Pierre Roths
Every mother thinks her child is a little angel… most of the time! To prove it, photograph your cherub with the light behind him or her. This will create an angelic effect!
- Shoot within about six feet of your child and use your fill flash.
- Use the backlight compensation button, if your camera is equipped with the option.
- Try using a piece of white poster board to bounce the sun back into the child’s face.
