ABSTRACT
Effects light - this can be shone onto the background to create ‘tonal interchange’. This is a technique where the photographer places dark areas of the subject against light areas of the background and vice versa. Alternatively the effects light can be shone directly onto the back of the subject so as to ‘rim light’ otherwise dark areas. Care must be taken to avoid shining the light directly into the camera lens. This is usually achieved by placing the effects light low or obscuring the light directly behind the subject itself.
