Boudoir Low Key
When shooting low-key images, it is common to use two lights. The first is the main light for the subject and the second is used as a hair or rim light to give some separation from the background.

Boudoir High Key Part 3
I'm now using that window light as a rim light, letting it fall sideways across the body. By letting the sitter use the wall they can give themselves some comfort, I will have them lean on the wall several ways, with their back to the wall, wit...

Backlighting through a diffusion screen is such a powerful tool. I use it all the time, but usually with a main light on the subject as well. In this sequence of shoots though I am just using the backlight and shooting directly into it.
