Here is an example of BACK lighting, using a naked studio light behind the still life table, which thus acts like a diffuser. Here we see a shadow forming in front of the pineapple, and the pineapple itself loses much of its detail, since it is starting to form a silhouette. The outline is sharp. This type of effect is good for showing form and shape, and works really well with sunsets scenes. What is basically happening is that the object occludes the light from the cameras lens. In instances where you actually want the detail of the subject, but the light is very strong backlighting your subject, you should use a fill in flash, or a reflector to pick up the detail.
