Photography Tips

Silhouette Photography

Silhouette photography isn′t as difficult to master as it might seem! Silhouette shots are great ways to capture special moments without asking for forced smiles or awkward poses. Make sure that the sun (or if you′re indoors - the window light) is behind your subjects for the first step to a unique silhouette portrait.

Watch CanvasWorld′s Silhouette Photography video for some tips about how to create a jaw-dropping shot:

      •   Contrasting subject and background color is key
      •   Make sure their face or body shape easily stands out.
      •   Keep subjects in shadow with no light on their faces.
      •   The best silhouette shots are taken during the magic hour!
