This mini-course is designed to give you a clear, practical understanding of how to create beautiful, glowing backlit images — from camera to final edit. We’ll start in the studio with a newborn session, where you’ll see the full setup in action — light placement, camera settings, posing considerations, and how to avoid common mistakes like blown highlights and unwanted haze. From there, we move into post-production. You’ll watch my full culling and workflow in Lightroom, see how I refine tones and exposure in Evoto, and then finish with creative polishing and problem-solving inside Photoshop. Each video is simple, focused, and easy to follow — perfect for both beginners and photographers wanting to refresh their skills. By the end, you’ll understand not only how to backlight, but why it works — and you’ll have a repeatable process you can use in your own sessions to create clean, dreamy, professional backlit images.
