I want to share with you a series of photos that I took in Backlight, using a red light in the background to create a good contrast of colors and make the photo more interesting.
The color red is a very symbolic color. In this case, the red color of the background creates an atmosphere of mystery and romance. The contrast between the red background and the black silhouettes is very striking and creates a very memorable image.
Backlighting is a photographic technique that consists of placing the light source behind the subject to be photographed. This produces a silhouette, with the subject dark and the background illuminated. Backlighting can be a very effective technique for creating dramatic and evocative images.
Silhouettes are a very powerful element in photography. They can create a sense of mystery, drama, or even humor. In this case the silhouette of my girlfriend, with the flower in her hand, is a symbol of love and beauty.
For me, this photo symbolizes an expression of love and union.
Then I wanted to photograph the silhouette of my cat, as a reminder of wild nature.
And my own silhouette wearing a hat to make the photo more interesting.
I took these photos at night in very low light conditions, this helped me create more defined silhouettes, the only light on was the red light in the background and I used my Canon RP camera with a 50mm 1.8f lens.
The biggest challenge was finding the right composition. I wanted the silhouettes to be well framed within the red background and this was a little difficult because the circle of light was small but with a lot of patience and after many photos we achieved the desired result.
