How to get Perfect Rim Light in Your Wildlife Photography | Peter Dam

If you are not yet a master of rim light, you are truly missing out on one of the most incredibly powerful and impactful techniques available to make your photographs absolutely amazing. Many photographers tend to focus their attention on the subject. However, if your aspiration is to create photographs that are on the next level, that truly stand out and impress, you should instead be looking for the light that is already present, the light that is shaping your subject from behind and around the edges. This is where the magic truly happens.
