Essential Tips for Capturing Artistic Silhouette

Aug 30, 2010 by Light & Composition Facebook Page

Every day, when I wake up in the dawn and finish the morning prayers, the sun seems to wait to give its light into the hue of the horizon. Its journey of light tells us a story with rhythm and harmony. Every photograph we make has its own journey and story to tell. Sometimes the story is vibrant; sometimes it amazes us with details, and sometimes it floats endlessly.

Artistic Silhouette

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 role 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 the majestic photographic effect of ‘Silhouette’.
