A Photographer’s Guide to Artistic Silhouette
Written by Nasrul Eam
$5
There are various ways to tell a story. In photography that story keeps on changing with the ever-changing light and shadow. They play their dramatic roles with emotion and mood. Sometimes we highlight subjects, which lights do not want to highlight. At times the inner portrays the outer, and the outer portrays the inner. In this way, we keep the story open for imagination, a mystery with drama that stands out with simplicity.
Yes, we are talking about ‘Silhouette’, a photography technique that conveys emotion and mood through the lens of the beholder. Making a silhouette is not hard, but conveying it with aesthetic meaning is its ultimate essence. To capture the genuine gesture in different situations and difficult light conditions, silhouette is always ideal. However, there are technical aspects that one must know to produce it, and with proper guidance you can make that artistic. This guide it all about learning, exploring, and practicing them.
