Emma – Black & White Backlit Portrait Photo

This black and white portrait photo of Emma captures a beautifully candid moment, taken just as she was adjusting her hair during a shoot with ImageZ Camera Club. The unusual lighting — coming from behind yet still illuminating her face — creates a soft halo around the curls of her hair while gently highlighting her downward gaze. The result is a quiet, intimate portrait full of natural charm.

The backlighting brings out delicate textures and subtle contours, giving the photo a timeless feel. Even though the Wendover Canal setting isn’t visible, the relaxed, spontaneous nature of the session comes through in her expression and pose. It’s an elegant study in light, softness, and authenticity.
