Broadly defined, backlight should include full backlighting and two lateral backlight. Its basic features are: from light-see the whole backlight is on his camera, from the back of the camera body was light from light, also called "Backlight"; side backlight is from the camera left and right side of the 135 ° down after being taken in the light, be taken of photic accounted for 1/3, backlit surface occupies 2/3. From light absorbed than watching, and background in the dark or 2/3 area in the dark, light and dark, strong contrast than large. From luminous efficiency, backlighting on opaque objects contour light; a transparent or translucent objects transmitted light; on the surface of the liquid or produce flash light. If we can turn backlight photography means used properly, for enhanced photographic creation of artistic effect is very valuable. The backlight of the scene, the character's hair would be more clear, more beautiful, the body edge line will be rendered, the entire character would become more solid. This is in the field of photography, many people like the backlight to shoot an important reason.

The following, we then shot for backlighting, do an arrangement and description to shoot portraits, for example, the Sun (or light) in the portrait of the rear, the entire scene of light distribution, portrait of the face, positive, rendered relatively dark situation, this is the so-called 「introduction backlight shot 」. Most of the camera is preset to all of the viewfinder screen as the basis, as a result of metering backlighting environment, portrait of rear light is relatively strong, in average, the camera will think that portrait positive of gloomy situation is normal, this is the backlighting will shoot out of the environment, 『 big black 』. Solution 1. We can use 「introduction exposure compensation 」 concept to handle 「introduction backlighting of photography 」, also is to increase exposure to let face brighter, but this approach will enhance the brightness of the whole picture, so not only face become bright, the background will then lightened, and cause the background details have lost. 2. a better approach is to use a reflector will light reflection in the character's face. For example, on figure, because the light from the back of the model, we launched into the front of the model to reflector will light reflection in the character's face. You can easily reach the face of the light, for normal exposure conditions. Reflective plate of choice in the Sun, you can use the white reflectors to soft light, cloudy day, you can use the silver or gold yellow reflective plate, in order to reflect more light. In fact, you can also use self-made reflective plate, styrofoam plate, silver paper clip into a self-made reflective plate.
