PEOPLE - Halo or Ring Lighting & Effect




The way a subject is lit creates the mood and effect. Here, using a round light from behind becomes a part of the image. The effect creates an innocence to the photograph. We associate circles of light such as this with Halo's, perhaps Christ, and therefore something more, maybe heavenly. This effect is created by exposing for the light first, and then you can bracket to get the exposure you want. If you only use the same exposure as for the light then you would create a total silhouette, which I looked at previously.
