Backlight photography
I'm a new member of photographytalk community
I'm Ghassen, 30 years old, from Tunisia.I began with photography 3 years ago. I take mainly people & portrait shots.
I hope learning from everyone here and share with you my knowledge and love for photography
I will start with some photos from my first try of backlight shooting session, and look forward for your critiques
thanks
#2 & #3 - I'm not comfortable with slicing off faces. Is this some new style on social media?
#4 - It look like a reflector was used, and placed low, below the face. This resulted in shading on the face that looks unnatural. Also try the reflector above the face.

I like #2, but for both #2 and #3 I think they would have been more successful with her looking into the frame, rather than out of. As they are, the images do come across as a "miss", rather than intentional.
I find #1 the most successful overall. They're all a bit too orange for me, and I really dislike the lens flare in the last one. But I have flare issues, and I embrace that.

LOL imagine how many issues there are among the members. Maybe we should start a thread...
I think it would be too dangerous without them.
