Silhouettes

1. Taking shots into the sun to give sufficient light to add features to your subject but there are also times when making your subject featureless apart from their outline against a bright background.

2. Choose something with a strong and recognizable shape that will be interesting enough in its two dimensional form to hold the interest of those viewing your image.

3.You want a little light on the front of your subject as possible, so the flash has to go (basic – but I’ve seen a few attempted silhouette shots with the flash firing).

4. Light shining from the background than the foreground of your shot

5. Having the perfect light, very bright

6. The profile would probably be the framing.
