Light Technique

I find myself becoming more and more impressed with The New York Times, and the quality of their photos.

Just out of curiosity, is there a name to this halo effect that wraps around Hilary Clinton's face?
I can't remember if we learned it or not in 3610.

Yes, it's called rim light or, sometimes, halo or backlighting. Usually rim light, though.
