Silhouettes

1. A silhouette photo stand out because of the combination of their simplicity but also the story that they convey.

2. The strategy for taking a silhouette photo is to place your subject in front of some source of light and to force your camera to set its exposure based upon the brightest part of your picture and not the subject of your image.

3. To "get your light right" is to place your subject in front of a sunset or sunrise.

4.Your light source should be shining from the background than the foreground of your shot.

5. The background of a silhouette should be a bright cloudless sky with the sun setting because the front will be a nice and plain, but have a bright background.

6. A profile is the features of someone like their nose, mouth, eyes etc. This makes a better silhouette picture because they are more likely to be recognized.
