English term or phrase: Kicker Light

Έχω βρει το kicker light ως «πλάγιος φωτισμός», αλλά ως «πλάγιο φωτισμό» έχω βρει και το side light και το cross light.

Side lighting =Πλάγιος φωτισμός, εγκάρσιος φωτισμός= Φωτισμός που πέφτει από τη μια μεριά ενός ανθρώπου ή ενός αντικειμένου, συνήθως για να δώσει όγκο, για να αναδείξει επιφανειακές τάσεις ή για να γεμίσει περιοχές που έχουν μείνει σκοτεινές από το φως μιας άλλης πηγής.

Cross light =Πλάγιο φως =Φωτισμός από πηγή τοποθετημένη μακριά από την κάμερα και που έρχεται πάνω στο θέμα υπό γωνία 90∘με το φακό.

Kicker light= Πλάγιος φωτισμός =Φωτισμός τοποθετημένος πιο πίσω και πιο χαμηλά από το cross light, που τονίζει το βάθος στη φωτογραφία και προσδίδει λάμψη στο θέμα.

Greek translation:οπισθοπλάγιος φωτισμός (kicker light)

Explanation:
Θα το άφηνα αμετάφραστο.

Side light- Directional light that illuminates the front side of a subject when strong fill is necessary, usually on the opposite side of the camera from the key light. Sometimes a sidelight is used instead of a key to create especially dense shadows on the opposite side of the face.

Kicker light- Directional illumination from the back, off to one side of the subject, usually from low angle opposite the key light. While the back light merely highlights the back of the head and the shoulders, the kicker light highlights and defined the entire side of the talent, separating him or her from the background.

Reference: Kicker Light

Reference information:
΄Ισως αυτό βοηθήσει:

Kicker lights, also known as rim lights, accent the edges of the subject. Kickers are usually placed just out of view and, behind and slightly to the right or left of the subject. A gobo is often placed between the kicker light and the camera lens to minimize flare. The image to the left shows our subject lighted with the main and fill lights as above, but with the addition of a kicker to the left and right. From the camera position, kickers set to the same output as the main light will appear noticeably brighter. The kickers in this example are delivering less light than the main light, yet the area they light appears brighter than the front of the face. This occurs because the kickers are positioned such that a greater portion of the reflected light is the form of direct reflection.
