Exploring Silhouette
1. What visual effects can silhouette help to create?
2.Why is it important to choose a strong subject? 3.Where should the light be in a silhouette? 4.Why should you use an uncluttered background? 5.Why should you use expansive Depth of Field in a silhouette? |
1. A silhouette helps to create drama, mystery,emotion and mood in your image.
2. Choosing a strong subject is important because it's what draws the viewer in. Colors and textures of the subject won't be enough because you won't see them, the shape has to be interesting as well. 3. the light should be behind the subject. 4. in the image the two shapes will merge together if they are too close. 5. You use expansive DOF because you don't want the background around a subject to be in focus, but the rest out of focus. Just make everything in focus. |
