How to achieve this effect in the photo?

Definitely this picture was taken in the evening, in front of the sun, which is already setting. If you take a DSLR and try to shoot something similar, then the picture will be completely different.

Ps If you are a beginner, then do not look into the viewfinder at the sun! Burn the retina.
So the question is how? This is not Photoshop, in Photoshop there are only color correction and other little things.

You also need to raise the black point on the curve. The photo shows that the details in the shadows are all elongated.
The black point on the histogram is the leftmost bottom point, you need to drag it up a little

Hood and polarizer?

Pull the temp slider to plus in Lightroom, making it warm. If the flare of the sun is not real from above, then a semi-transparent gradient in Photoshop. That's the whole secret.
PS: Usually backlit photos are taken with a flash.

The details of the object, which is shot against the sun, are illuminated by a flash and reflectors. It was rightly said above.

It's all about the lens, I see a bright light spot in a semicircle at the top of the frame. This is a common effect with long lenses without a lens hood. I myself achieved this using a Jupiter 135mm 3.5 lens. Any Japanese manual lens with a 1.4 50mm hole gives approximately the same effect. It is also worth noting that the back of the light is scattered by the foliage, so it does not interfere so much with the front side of the frame being lighter. Plus, you definitely need a manual mode when shooting in order to make exposure compensation.
PS It is customary to take backlit photos with a flash only for fashion photography. And in general, the flash often spoils the frame. Natural light is the best. I personally don’t even use reflectors and shoot exclusively without a flash.
