Silhouette Questions
1. What visual effects can silhouette help to create?
Silhouettes are a wonderful way to convey drama, mystery, emotion and mood to the viewers of your photos and often stand out in an album because of the combination of their simplicity but also the story that they convey
2.Why is it important to choose a strong subject?
Silhouettes can’t draw on the colors, textures and tones of subjects to make them appealing – so the shape needs to be distinct.
3.Where should the light be in a silhouette?
Instead of lighting the front of your subject, in silhouettes you need to ensure that there is more light shining from the background than the foreground of your shot – or to put it another way – you want to light the back of your subject rather than the front.
4.Why should you use an uncluttered background?
Frame your shot so you are shooting with your subject in front of a nice plain, but bright background. Usually the best backgrounds will be a bright cloudless sky with the sun setting.
5.Why should you use expansive Depth of Field in a silhouette?
So that way you can see everything in the photo instead of just one thing being in focus and the rest being blurry.
