Silhouette in Photography

As per the definition from Wikipedia, silhouette is the image of a person, animal, object or scene represented as a solid shape of a single color, usually black.The interior of a silhouette is featureless, and the whole is typically presented on a light background, usually white. 

 Please take at a look at the picture below


Students are carrying the science project at the end of Science Expo that was conducted in a school. By shooting in Silhouette, we can show the team work of the students rather than showing each sutdent individually (Team represents the group rather than individual identity). 



To recap on the last week "Form that gives substance", the below photo was taken at Dakshinachitra, Chennai, Tamil Nadu



The natural light on the carvings of the cot gives the sense of depth and gives the illusion of the third dimension where it stands out from the window in the background
