Silhouette Photos
A silhouette is an outline that appears dark against a light background. It is where the subject is seen as a black shape without detail against a brighter background. This can be done by using any type of camera and can be refined in photoshop. You can create a photo by using your own light and your own subjects in a controlled environment. This is an artistic outcome that many photographers like to perfect. The silhouette effect can be achieved with any kind of bright light source, but of course the most commonly used is the sun around sunrise or sunset. The backlighting from the sun or an artificial light source shadows everything towards the viewer and produces the effect. I will be using rocks, hands, toys, and trees.
