Chris Orwig is quickly becoming one of my favourite photographers. I love his style and love his enthusiasm.
When strolling through his block the other day I came across these photos:

Love them! The emotion is great, but it was the lighting that initially drew me to look closer at this photo.
Question - how do you achieve this proper exposure of Chris and his child with the overexposed background while still keeping somewhat crisp edges? I've tried doing this a few times, metering off of the subject when there is very strong backlighting, but always have blown out edges.
Can you give me some links to some helpful information for how to overcome this? Is it a matter of the subject(s) needing to be in a shaded area?
