Feedback

Working with natural light, especially on a bright sunny day can be challenging at times. However, the resulting warm and engaging portraits created from shooting in the afternoon sunshine make it all worthwhile.

Backlighting your subject is a beautiful way to separate them from the background, giving your images an instant glow-up.

So, for this challenge, we want to see some perfectly executed backlight, and images with rim-light that really add the separation and give the Glow-Up feeling.

Well done to all the Embarkers who submitted an image for this challenge.

Challenge Brief

Capture a backlit subject, with full rim light visible around the edges of the subject. Golden hour provides the best light source for backlighting, but artificial light may be used instead. The camera-facing side of the subject should be receiving plentiful natural light, balancing the rim light and creating clear catchlights in the eyes.
