Backlighting is a photographic technique where the light source is positioned behind the subject, resulting in silhouettes, halos, and dramatic mood enhancements. By allowing light to pass through translucent objects or by casting the subject in shadows, it creates a surreal, ethereal, or dramatic effect. Common in both photography and cinematography, backlighting emphasizes shape and form and can bring out textures and details otherwise unseen.
