I have some pictures that I would like to highlight with light. But I would like to light the picture from behind with the light - maybe an LED light - set in a box frame.
I understand there is a type of photo print that allows backlit lighting. On the internet I have seen photo lightboxes that light up the whole picture, but I would like the backlight to just highlight a certain part of the picture - like a star in the sky for example.
Do you have any advice or experience with backlit photography? thanks for replying
Yes. I've got one of those frames, just can't remember the name of it right now. Will try to find it and get back to you later tonight or tomorrow.
To just back-light one part of a picture like a starry sky you will have to put an opaque mask behind the parts you don't want back-lit. Not hard to do.
More info here. Good luck, hope this helps.
