For this subject: Expose for the subject and let the background blow slightly; balancing both kills the glow.
  • Ask for translucency — hair, fabric and leaves glowing is what backlight is actually for.
  • Keep one clear subject — editorial images fail when the frame is busy.
  • Swap the lens to 50mm f/1.2 for a wider environmental version.
  • Add "shot for a magazine cover, generous top margin" if you need space for a headline.
