Backlighting

I love the look of backlighting. I love the warm, golden tones and how it changes the mood.
This is a photo I took 2 years ago, and while I think my photography has greatly improved in the last 2 years, this still remains one of my most favorite backlit sessions. The session was of three girls and they were so fun to photograph. They were best friends and had so much fun. I got the best candid shots out of them.

I had to be careful in how I positioned them, so that they were backlit by the sun, but that the sun was not coming full force into my lens and creating flare over the girls, however I love the artistic use of sun flare in the left corner. I did a little post editing to pop the color and I slightly adjusted the levels.
