This month’s topic is “Silhouette”
The art of photography of silhouettes involves capturing subjects in front of a light source, ensuring the subject is underexposed, thus creating striking images with bold outlines against bright backgrounds.
Artful Approaches to Capture Silhouettes:
1. Positioning: Place your subject in front of the light source to create a clear outline.
2. Background: Opt for detailed, bright backgrounds to enhance the silhouette effect.
3. Camera Settings: Adjust settings to underexpose the subject and focus on shapes rather than details.
4. Filters: Use UV filters for specific settings like beach or desert scenes to enhance the silhouette effect.
