Back lighting, Shadows, and Reflections Research

Below are examples of silhouette, reflection, and shadow photography, all of which require a specific focus on lighting.

Photographers practice silhouette photography to convey messages or emotions through interesting shapes. Below, the photographer John Batho takes the silhouette technique to the next level by photographing his subject through a fogged window or glass, which creates an eerie and disturbing mood.
John Batho makes me really interested in whats happening in the photo. I look at this have this immediate eerie feeling and sense of another dimension in time and space. I feel like the mood created here is tense and intimidating and its a great way to capture a scary or intense moment:

Photographers practice shadow photography (in which the shadow of an object or person is the main subject of the photograph) to convey messages or emotions through the use of shape and texture.

Back-lighting doesn't always have to create silhouettes - it is also often used for portrait photography.
