A compositional device in visual media derived from Art — the subject (usually one, a few at most) is/are posing with their back/s to the viewer while they are gazing at something. Standing is a common choice, and the pose will occasionally tell us something else about them (for example, a warrior might be grasping a weapon). Usually they're looking up, out, or down at beautiful scenery or nothingness, other times they are looking at a specific thing. The technical term for this is rückenfigur, a German word meaning 'figure from the back'. The reason this pose has such staying power is that it presents a sense of isolation while inviting the audience to step into the shoes of the subject as they meditatively look out at the impressive scene, and we go "The World Is Just Awesome" or "Oh, Crap!" along with them. It also adds some mystery since we cannot see the subject's face, and so we must guess how they are reacting to the things around them. Although it has been used by artists dating back to the 14th century, when Depth of Field was beginning to make its way into paintings, the rückenfigur was popularized by Caspar David Friedrich and his fellow German Romantics. Friedrich in particular really liked using this pose, and his Wanderer above the Sea of Fog is one of the closest this trope has a Trope Codifier — for overt homages to that painting, see its ReferencedBy page. A popular variation of this trope is to have the character stand with their back to the viewer, but with their face partly visible. In this version, the emphasis is often on the strength of the central character, the challenge and mystery in their facial expression, and what they have on their back (if any). Today, posing from the back remains a popular choice not only in art and photography, but also in Covers and Film Posters (especially for those of the Epic Movie or Biopic flavor), as it allows the audience to insert themselves into the posing character looking out at the spectacle of the premise. It is useful for a variety of tones, from melancholy and meditative to impressive and awe-inspiring. One common variation of the latter is a shot of a lone warrior versus something big and hostile, like a kaiju, opposing army, or Weird Weather: fighting it seems impossible, but this pose is used to display their bravery and resoluteness. However, it is not limited to still images; cinematography can also utilize it to denote pivotal moments. Super-Trope to Contemplative Boss, where a powerful person looks out over his domain with his back turned. Compare Reclining Venus, another stock pose in art that invites suggestion and mystery. Contrast Boobs-and-Butt Pose and Toplessness from the Back, where the subject's back is turned for fanservice, not immersion into the scenery. See also Always Over the Shoulder, if the positioning allows one to look out at the game world, Chair Reveal, Riding into the Sunset. |

His back is to the viewer and his hands are primly tucked behind his back and in crisp white gloves, indicating his butler position. Symbolically, it shows that Cecil, as a black man, did not have a voice in American politics for much of his employment. | |

The main promo image for Dragon Age: Inquisition featured the player character with their back to the player, reaching up into a sky filled with demons and using the power of their marked hand, while the nine companions fight more demons on the barren landscape around them. It's noteworthy because it's wrong - the Anchor, as the mark is called, is on the Inquisitor's right hand in the image, but in actual gameplay it's on the left. | |

Red vs. Blue: The season 12 teaser trailer ends with going through most of the major characters one by one, showing each one doing something different. The last one is Carolina; she stands with her back to the viewer, then turns her head to the side so that her visor comes into view. This reflects how she's been absent for the past season while off doing her own thing, while also hinting at her eventual return this season. | |

The poster for Despicable Me 2 features reformed supervillain Gru overlooking a plain full of his Minions, establishing that he's a slick man with authority. And since the first film ended with his reform, the pose leaves what he's planning up to interpretation. | |

Starset: The cover◊ of "Waiting on the Sky to Change" shows an astronaut with their back to the audience, standing on a rocky outcrop and looking forward into a triangular portal in the sky, through which an enormous eclipse can be seen. A variation on this image appears at the start of the music video; some environmental details are changed, including swapping the eclipse for a plain starry sky. | |

Life Is Strange In the first game, Max's award winning photo is a selfie of herself facing away from the camera, looking at a wall of her own selfies. In-Universe it's considered an impressive work of art (for a high school graduate, at least), out of universe it (along with her habitual selfie-taking) represents her own introversion (even more so the way she's reluctant to submit it for a contest she wins handily after going back in time to enter). Life Is Strange: Before the Storm's second episode opening credits see Chloe vandalise a bathroom with a marker pen. The sequence ends with a shot of her admiring her work, framed the same way as Max's own selfie. Paralleling her connection to Max and framing her snarkyness as a parallel to Max's photography. |

In Arachnid and its sequels, characters are obsessed with teleporting behind enemies with their back turned. Alice in particular is The Dreaded and every time she is mentioned by someone as a natural-born murderer she is presented in an Imagine Spot looking ominous with her back turned to the reader. | |

Used in two posters for Ophelia. A teaser poster depicts Ophelia standing with her back to the viewer, looking out across a river and Elsinore Castle – the latter is the primary setting of the film and the former is foreshadowing of Ophelia's watery fate. A theatrical poster depicts Ophelia standing away from the viewer, though with her face turned to show her in profile; this illustrates that Ophelia is stepping out of the background to have a more prominent role in this retelling of Hamlet. | |

The album cover for evermore is a photograph of Swift's head and shoulders from the back while she's looking straight ahead into a forest. It fits the meditative, folksy sound of the album. | |

The Law & Order: UK episode "Survivor's Guilt" opens with Detective Sergeant Ronnie Brooks being seen only from behind as he stares at a crime scene. Other factors such as his defeated posture, the somber music, and the shadowy lighting are enough to instantly confirm our worst fears that his partner has died as a result of the gunshot wounds he received in the previous episode all before we even see his grief-stricken face. | |
