lighting

The technique of lighting is called backlight. As the name clearly explains, the light is near the back of the model and shines where only part of the model can be seen. This lighting style really brings out the details like her hair and the smoke of the cigarette. I find this technique really mysterious and intriguing.

In this picture the artist used rim lighting. This technique outlines the model, in this case a cat, to show the figure of the model. This technique enhances the viewers perception.
