Silhouette lighting


This type of photography includes a white background created using a light box along with the outline and features of an individual in black. This photography portrays some mystery into the individual - things such as up close detail & emotion is not shown. The ambiguity of a models facial emotions is therefore creatively intriguing. 
The setup includes the following:
  • Turn the light up to 6
  • The model cannot be too close to the light box
  •  Adjust the flash e.g diming the flash by turning the light down from 6 to 4, 
  • On 6 - the features of the model may still be visible.
  • On 4 the features of the model are dimmed, and the interior area of the model is black
.


- Reflecting the poly board or white board would add some highlight to the models face.



- Does not matter what backdrop you use, the frame will always be the soft box



-  Be imaginative - the more soft boxes lined up the bigger the photograph backdrop.
