Silhouetting is a technique that may be used to add glamour and intensity to a variety of everyday shots, such as still lifes, holiday photos, and even family photos. When used correctly, the method may add excitement and drama to ordinary images. Although it’s critical to keep the frame free of clutter, don’t rule out the idea of including another form into the image to complement the main topic. Docks silhouetted in the foreground, for example, help balance a sailboat against the sky. Similarly, as with a shot taken through an open arch or doorway, the entire foreground can be employed to frame the subject.
