Key light: The primary light source is the setting or rising sun, positioned to the left and slightly behind the subject, providing a soft, warm backlight. This creates a subtle rim light and beautifully highlights the textures of the hillsides.
Fill: Fill is minimal on the subject, allowing them to remain largely silhouetted against the brighter background. Ambient light from the sky and environmental bounce provides very soft, natural fill in the landscape.
Rim: A clear, warm rim light accents the left side of the subject's head and shoulder, helping to separate them from the background.
Practicals: none visible
Time of day: golden hour (likely late afternoon)

Composition

Rule of thirds: The horizon line sits on the upper horizontal third, and the subject is placed roughly on the right vertical third, drawing the eye into the frame.
Leading lines: The undulating contours of the hills create strong diagonal leading lines, guiding the viewer's gaze from the foreground into the distant landscape and towards the subject.
Symmetry: The composition is asymmetrical, with the dominant landmasses and the subject offset to the right, balancing the expansive sky.
Negative space: Considerable negative space in the sky and the vast, barren hills enhances the feeling of scale and the subject's insignificance.
Subject placement: The lone figure is positioned in the lower right portion of the frame, facing away from the camera, which encourages the viewer to look out into the same distant view.
Framing style: clean single

Recreation preview

To recreate this shot, use a medium telephoto lens (around 85-135mm) at chest height on an incline. Position your subject in the lower right of the frame, facing away, with the sun behind and slightly to their left during golden hour. Keep the subject slightly underexposed to emphasize their silhouette against the brightly lit background and textured hills.
