Gegenlicht - the German term for light that shines into the camera from the other side of the photographer's subject - literally means "against light." Artists always have things going against them or they wouldn't have to struggle, right? And if there's no struggle, there's no art, right? In these photos from a shoot in early September, the sun was with us just long enough to get a few good shots, but we had to play with the back light to get it right.

If it's not the light, it's the equipment (usually a weak excuse) or lack of knowledge or a bad mood or any number of other things that work against us on any given day. But let's concentrate on that all-important factor for photography today: light.

In the studio you try to project light on your subject in a way that creates a three-dimensional impression on the viewer, making the subject look real. Out in the field, however, that's usually not possible. There is usually only one source of light and - in event photography at least - you rarely have the opportunity to place a subject in a position that creates a perfect mixture between light and shadows. So you have the choice of either placing yourself directly in the sun and shooting into the light or working around the lighting situation in another way. Perhaps you shoot into the light and add a little of your own, either with a reflector or a flash.

In Ludwigsburg, just north of Stuttgart, there is a weekend-long event every two years, during which nearly 1,000 people dress up in fantastic costumes and parade around the city, much to the enjoyment of nearly 1,000 photographers!

The people behind the masks act stately and saunter around grandly as if they belonged to the aristocracy. Who knows what they are really like? Does it matter? The photographer is interested in the superficial beauty in this case. Perhaps he projects his feelings onto the one or other beauty, only to be disappointed once she is unmasked.

The parade on Friday goes through town and ends on the closed market place, where viewers must pay a fee to enter. There are several stages set up, on which magic, music and acrobatic shows are on continual rotation. All this makes for a real spectacle.

Whether the sun is shining directly into the camera or hidden by some sheer fabric, the effect can be stunning. I was the only photographer taking pictures from behind this woman, who was emerging from a flower into the setting sun.

Here is a short video of this show.
