Back-lighting in photography can be used for a variety of different ways, such as a hair light for people, showing transparency with fabrics or glass or creating stunning silhouettes. Back-lighting is a great way to showcase the subjects, and it gives the photo a good amount of creativity and artistic value. When it comes to using back-light for portraits, is an excellent way to show some separation between the subject and the background. Also, lighting the hair from behind always adds a nice touch! Below I present you some photos that are made using this technique for which I am sure will impress you!
