This photo is included light source photography because the sunset in the background is the only source of light lighting the photo. The light coming from the back of the photo creates the image of silhouettes as the subject of the photo.

This photo is an example of included light photography because the only light is coming from the lamp in the center of the photo. This form of lighting creates a lot of shadow with some light on the child to draw attention to the selected subject of the photo (the child).
