In photography, silhouettes usually have a powerful meaning and impact. They emphasize the shape of the subject and create a dramatic look. At the same time it offers a gentle and fascinating look, a mysterious approach. A good definition of a silhouette is that it represents an outline of the subject which appears dark, against a lighter background. This photographic technique is not very easy, but once you get the hang of it, not very hard either. You only have to pick the right moment of the day, the perfect light and create the outstanding contrast. We will show you 50 examples of such wonderful photos in this post. Enjoy!
