In French: contre-jour – “against daylight.” I love shooting against the light. It produces something beautiful that conventional wisdom advises against.
I just learned this term; doesn’t it sound lovely in French? Chipeta is lovely in any language!

As you make the perceptual shift in seeing the
object as a condition of light, what you observe
becomes as tentative, shimmering and luminous
as the light itself. What you’re doing is fantastic.
