Lighting Techniques 


Last week in studio class we looked at Rim and Background lighting, this technique is highly effective and a great technique to learn.

When doing Background lighting you illuminate to backdrop, this creates a sense of depth and makes it easier to define the sitter form the background.

Rim Lighting (also referred to as a hair light or backlit lighting) is when you place a light behind the sitter and illuminate the sitter. This creates a glow around the sitter and again separates the sitter from the background.
