Photography: Capturing the Silhouette

Tips & Tricks – “The Silhouette”

SKILL LEVEL: Beginner

HOW IT WORKS: While the silhouette seems like a simple effect to create, it can be very powerful and compelling when used correctly. The silhouette is a study of shapes and light; … lines and color. It brings the viewers attention to the outline of your subject, and in doing so often creates an interesting set of lines and curves for the eye to follow.

To shoot a silhouette, place the subject of your image in-between you and a bright light such as a bright sky or window. Make sure you camera is exposing for the brighter light behind your subject, focus the camera on your subject and take the picture.
