Portraits: Backlighting, Wraparound Lighting
This is a quick explanation of backlighting (for wraparound lighting from behind) in a portrait. This can produce a soft, ethereal effect for portraiture.
Ways to achieve this type of backlighting effect include simply blowing out the exposure of the backlight so that it seems to bleed around the subject, and using strong light sources behind (opposite the camera side) the subject. I provide some window light and flash examples in this video.
