Tuesday Tip #2

Tracy's Tuesday Tip: Find back-lighting

One way you can make your pictures look studio quality is by finding back-lighting.  Back-lighting gives a person dimension & helps separate them from the background.  You can create back-lighting by using the sun, an actual light, or light bouncing off a light object. 

I look this picture of my cousins on Thanksgiving.  The sun was bouncing of the second story of my parents' house, giving both girls a beautiful glow.  I was so surprised and impressed by how gorgeous it turned out ... my parents backyard just might be "Plan C" for photoshoots that get too dark! ;)

I agree! Backlighting is the only way to get depth into our photos. Nice Tip T!
