A silhouette is a photograph that shows the outline of a person, object, or another scene only. In most cases, the subject is black and recognized by the outline. But this is not a fixed standard. As long as the subject you are photographing appears darker in the context of the contest, you can get the silhouette.

There are many themes to choose from, but you also need to make the right choices. Shooting sketches means giving up the details of the subject. The subject is relatively simple, well-defined and easy to identify, yet completely distinguishable from the outside world. You can think about anything in nature, trees, leaves, animals, etc. If your city has good-looking buildings, there is a good outline even when using the skyline. As long as its shape is excellent, anything can be a good subject for silhouette photography, as long as it is creative and experimental, do not worry or be afraid to do new ones.  <center>[Image source](https://pxhere.com/en/photo/475822) </center> #### How to create a silhouette Often we think of shooting a full-blown theme. However, when shooting a silhouette, a backlighting is required, i.e. the light needs to be behind the subject rather than illuminating the subject from the front. At the same time in the light and the subject of this article, it is best not the shelter, to avoid the silhouette of the silhouette was destroyed. Prepare your shots, choose a frame from the viewfinder, take the brightest part of your photo as a spot, and expose the brightest spot so other areas such as the foreground or the subject will appear darker, which When the silhouette came out. But if you want to get a more pronounced outline effect, you can do it by manually lowering the exposure. At the same time, keep in mind that what the naked eye sees is not captured by the camera. #### Use a simple background The composition of the silhouette needs to highlight the distinct outline of the subject and the relative spatial stereoscopic effect. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the image of the other messy elements. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the shooting background is as concise as possible. In order to do this, sometimes it is necessary to take a more pure view of the sky as a backdrop from a lower perspective. Most of the time you need to get as low as possible to get the best shot.  <center>[Image source](https://pixabay.com/en/silhouette-shooting-sunset-people-1343190/) </center> #### Outdoor shooting: the sun as the light source The best time to shoot silhouettes outdoors is at the prime of sunrise or sunset, when the sunshine is soft and the best source of light. Sometimes the sun can be used as a photographic subject or photography props, as an element of the screen, will bring some amazing magic effect. Even the sunspot can be used to enhance the image of the subject, sometimes difficult to operate. But when you do, you will find it full of fun. Trying to take advantage of the sun's light from a different perspective, it makes the picture more visual, rather than undermining the integrity of the theme.  <center>[Image source](http://www.highviewart.com/cvetno/da-usetish-che-v-tozi-mig-ste-samo-dvamata-5293.html) </center>  <center>[Image source](https://pixabay.com/en/woman-girl-bike-sunset-walk-2711279/) </center> At the same time, shooting silhouette is also an important way street photography, outdoor can add more fun to the silhouette of the street.  <center>[Image source](https://pxhere.com/en/photo/623883) </center> #### Indoor shooting: make good use of lighting When shooting silhouettes in the room, using the sun as a light source can be perfectly captured in the same way. If you use other light sources, you only have to find a powerful light source, such as a light. Placing your subject in front of the lights for framing is a dramatic and mysterious way to get the viewer's imagination. At the same time through enough practice, you can even try to shoot a person's profile or the whole body surrounded by light.  <center>[Image source](https://pixabay.com/en/girl-woman-beauty-portrait-face-1561979/) </center> Of course, any light source can be a source of inspiration, such as indoor soft lighting, stage lights can become a perfect silhouette of the light source. As long as you find out, you can tap from the bit by bit life with many opportunities to record the moment and create a sense of mystery. #### Note that the angle of view and multiple elements overlap If there are multiple subjects, the interaction between multiple elements is likely to cause overlap of the outline. If the overlap is too much, the integrity and aesthetics of the outline will be destroyed, at the same time, the heavy feeling is added, and making it even more invisible what is the subject of the filming? Therefore, when shooting, we need to strive for individual objects from the individual perspective, is also clear, clearly visible.  <center>[Image source](https://www.pexels.com/photo/silhouettes-of-couple-kissing-against-sunset-41068/) </center>  <center>[Image source](https://pixabay.com/en/running-runner-long-distance-3120507/) </center>  <center>[Thank's for @carlos-cabeza](https://steemit.com/steemit/@carlos-cabeza/images-free-gif-for-steemit-community-upvote-follow-resteem-animated-banners-for-places-at-the-end-of-your-post) </center>  <center>[Thank's for @carlos-cabeza](https://steemit.com/steemit/@carlos-cabeza/images-free-gif-for-steemit-community-upvote-follow-resteem-animated-banners-for-places-at-the-end-of-your-post) </center>
