Assignment #440: Backlight And Silhouettes

Photo By Michael McDermott

Add intrigue and drama to your images with the use of backlight. Experiment with different angles, positions and time of day when you put your subject between you and the sun. This helps add depth to your image and creates a dramatic contrast between the background and the subject. Submit your best shots that feature backlight and silhouettes by October 7.—Kristan Ashworth, Managing Editor
