"silhouette" is a very interesting subject matter, reducing the exposure in a backlight environment, so that the subject becomes a black shadow, leaving only the outline. Good silhouette works can always make people memorable, leaving unlimited space for reverie. However, there are also people who can't take a good silhouette and always have a bad taste. Today, I would like to share with you some tips for taking good silhouette photos.

01, the picture element should not be too many elements, it is easy to bring the picture messy problem, so that people can not find a point of visual interest. Therefore, the silhouette shooting scene must be careful, no matter in what kind of scene shooting, to ensure that the main body is prominent, the environment should be clean and tidy. Many novices have too many scene elements when taking silhouettes.

02, clear silhouette, silhouette, what you see is the shadow. The shadow does not have any details, and all you can see is the outline, so the outline of the silhouette must be clearly identifiable. If you are a photographer, you should stretch your limbs and never huddle up, for that is not beautiful.

Second, try to use low-angle head-up or head-up shooting, do not let the main body overlap with the ground. Once overlapped, the outline of the subject is not clear enough. Looking up at the shooting, it is also easier to avoid messy elements and get a concise picture.

03, wonderful moments and story shooting of the silhouette subject must have something to see, to ensure that the subject itself is ornamental. First of all, we should learn to capture wonderful moments, which are good-looking at this moment. Secondly, we should learn to choose scenes with a sense of story. Silhouettes with a sense of story are more likely to move the audience, such as a couple looking at each other affectionately, or a man and a dog walking in the hills under the setting sun.

In order to capture a wonderful moment, you can set up a camera and wait for an excellent subject to appear in front of the lens. You can also set up continuous shooting and select the best one in the later stage to improve the success rate of snapping.

04. Set off the silhouette with a bright light source when the background has a brighter area, let the main body of the silhouette overlap with the bright light source, and the brightness of the background and the darkness of the silhouette set off each other. Before sunset, let the main body overlap with the sun, and after sunset, there will be a brighter area.

05. The reasonable arrangement of white space and shadow silhouette is often relatively simple, and there will be a large area of blank area, so it is necessary to deal with the problem of scene when shooting silhouette, especially the extra sky and large area of ground, which can be cut if necessary. If the ground is all black, there is no need to take up much space. For the sky, it is also necessary to control the blank area and coordinate the proportion of the subject in the photo.

06. Good-looking background not only controls the subject, but also learns to choose a good-looking background. The common silhouette is a golden background, and you can also choose to shoot in a cloudy day with a sunset glow; when shooting in the blues, the background is a gradient from blue to yellow; pick up a telephoto lens and use the sun and moon as the background. it's also very characteristic.

07. Proper post-processing in the backlight environment, the camera is limited by its own tolerance, and the photos taken are often not transparent enough. In the post-processing, we can appropriately improve the brightness of the background, darken the brightness of the theme, increase the saturation of the background, and strengthen the color language.
