Here is a shot of my wife where I used the backlight technique. I used the reflection off the snow to add the fill light to her face. Do you think this is a good way to shoot? Do you like the look that comes from shooting into the light? Please leave comments below to let me know what you think. Thanks, Brian
Love the simplicity of the video and I finally understand natural versus artificial lighting.
ReplyDeleteI photograph Hereford cattle and often use a fill flash and backlight just because I think it makes them look better. The reflector probably wouldn't work around bulls ;) I love the shot of your wife!
