backlight

the waiting - monica lacey 2013

For today's theme of backlight, I was really hoping to get outside with a model right around sunset to shoot with the sun as backlight, for some of that lovely golden-edged effect.  However, the day just didn't go like that, so I had to work indoors - a good challenge for me as I rarely shoot with a lighting set-up, usually using natural light instead.  All practice is good practice, and thankfully I have a photogenic/willing model/husband to save me from only ever shooting still lives :) 

See Juliana's shot here.
