Back Lighting

Definition

back·light
/ˈbakˌlīt/

verb
gerund or present participle: backlighting
illuminate from behind.
“a backlit LCD screen”

This comes from Adorama:

Backlight photography literally means any type of photography wherein the primary light source is positioned behind the subject. This photography style is mostly used for portraits during spring or summer, when the sun is at its brightest and warmest. Another plus is that your subject won’t need to squint while shooting, which can ruin your photo as well.

Normally, artificial lighting is used to perfect the backlight effect, but there are ways that it can also be achieved using natural light. The light faces the camera and creates a dramatic outlined glow around the subject, resulting in a dreamlike silhouette or portrait. It also emphasizes the shape or a facial feature of your subject and makes them stand out from the background.

The Assigned Subject for March’s competition is:

Movie Title

Below you will find a selection taken from our Assigned Subject review we had during our first meeting of the season.

Definition

The title of a movie.

The idea behind this topic was to think of a movie title and then shoot a picture that represents that title.

• Jaws:  A picture of a shark.
• Pulp Fiction: A container of OJ stating lots of pulp next to a glass of OJ that looks like Tang.
• Spaceballs:  Out of focus stars

Get creative!
If you’re stumped the google image search has a different way of looking at this one.
