Backlighting
The light source sits behind the subject. The sun moves from outside the frame to directly behind the person's head; a thin bright edge appears around the figure, a pale warm haze covers the frame and the side facing the camera darkens.

How the movement works
For airy, glowing portraits or any image that should feel bathed in light.
- 01Scene 1: a head-and-shoulders figure in front of a horizon at y 150 (head centre x 270, y 78, radius 29 px, no face or hair). light is a flat amber #FFC75A shape, shadow a flat #33405A one
- 02Sun: radius 20 px, from outside the frame (top left, x 40, y −40) to directly behind the head (x 270, y 56), with flat rings of 2.6× and 1.7× the radius (#FFE3A3 at 35% and 60%)
- 03Outline: the figure is stroked with a 7 px line and then filled, leaving a 3.5 px bright edge outside it
- 04Figure #4D5A75 → #33405A; sky #FAF9F7 → #FFF4DC; #FFE3A3 laid over the whole frame at 22%
- 05Timing: the effect comes in from 0.4 s to 1.4 s, holds until 4.0 s and is gone again by 4.8 s (one pass = 5 s, cubic ease-in-out (about cubic-bezier(0.65,0,0.35,1)))
Prompt
Backlit portrait of a person in a meadow, the low sun right behind their head, glowing hair outline and soft haze.
