A bright light placed behind the subject creates a luminous rim around the hair and shoulders. The glowing halo separates the figure from a dark background.

How to do this pose

  1. Sit with a bright light directly behind your head
  2. Let the rim light catch the edges of your hair
  3. Turn slightly so the glow traces your profile
  4. Keep your face calm toward the camera

Photography tips

Position the light directly behind the head and add a touch of fill in front so the face is not lost in shadow.

Expression

Quiet and introspective, framed by the halo of light.

Camera angle

Close-up at eye level with the backlight just behind the head.
