Want to know how to take great silhouettes? Follow these simple steps!
Step 1. Choose a Bold Subject - choose a strong recognizable shape
Step 2. Turn OFF your Flash - you want minimal light on the front of the subject
Step 3. Light it up Right - have the strongest light coming from behind your subject ( Inside tip: a bright cloudless sky is best for your background)
Step 4. Keep it uncluttered - if you have more than one subject, keep them apart ( if you don't - they'll become one big blob!)
Great tips...I don't do silhouettes often enough!
