Creative Examples of Silhouette Photography

Silhouette photography is a creative form of photography which can reflect emotion and drama in a picture. A silhouette is generally defined as an image of a person, an object, or scene, consisting of the outline as well as a featureless interior.

The key of taking a nice silhouette picture is choosing a strong subject with a recognizable shape and getting the lighting right by having more light shine from the background than the foreground.

Below are some truly wonderful examples of silhouette photography. Enjoy!
