Here’s a friendly reminder that I really cannot emphasize enough.
Direct sunlight? Not a good idea.
Blotchy shade created by trees? Also not a good idea.
Intense backlight? Better, but not awesome.
Backlight broken up by some leaves in the background? Better, especially considering this was shot at noon in a VERY SUNNY PLACE. (Note: Don’t shoot at noon. Not a good idea)
Nice, safe open shade? Always a sure bet, especially at high noon in downtown Phoenix.

I’m trying to pay attention to your photography tips. I’ll show my ignorance here, but what exactly do you mean by backlight? Or maybe a better question is how do you achieve it?
