LESSON: ON SILHOUETTES

One of the key points when it comes to silhouettes is the separation between compositional elements..
.
In other words, you want your silhouettes to be immediately recognized for what they are I.e. a person walking, a couple on a bench, people on the phone, all by a moored boat, etc. .
.
Quick recognition leads to better appreciation.

Another reason why this photo works so well is that it was shot from a slightly lower angle than that of eye level (from a boat). Thusly, the blue sky being reflected off the surface of the water adds a speck of color in an area that otherwise would be without any details.

ABOUT ME !!
Essdras M Suarez

I'm not a specialist. I'm a generalist. I am photography. I am the people, places and things I see through my lens. I am the seasons, I'm the flavors, I don't check a box or fit into a box and I wouldn't want to. I was forged on the trenches of daily newspapers where competitiveness and deadline- driven daily tasks ruled the day. A world where in order to stand out among your peers you must be able to think outside the box and change your approach at a moment's notice. Learning to do just this has won me awards in a myriad of photographic genres. I can adapt to any given situation, to the ebb and flow of any photo assignment or situation. Now that I am in a position to share my knowledge and experience with others, I spend a lot of my time teaching the art of photography.
