source is behind the subject or visible in the display,
the resulting picture may have weak contrast, may be
too dark, and may contain unwanted light effects.
● Sidelit subject. Strong side light gives a dramatic effect
but may be too harsh, resulting in too much contrast.
● Light source in front of the subject. Harsh sunlight may
cause the subjects to squint their eyes. The contrast
may also be too high.
● Optimal lighting is found in situations where there is
plenty of diffused, soft light available, for example, on
a bright, partially cloudy day or on a sunny day in the
shadow of trees.
