Backlighting

Yes. Professional photographers do that and they add a fill light for the front. I can tell a reflector or a fill light was used in that photo. See the shadow on the arm. Outdoors instead of having people squinting into the light, you can have them sidelighted or backlighted and use a flash to fill in.

Yes we do. But I didn't for this shot. This is a natural light shot of my daughter in a church while we were on holiday in the Cotswolds :)
