Let me out of here

Posted by Jan (Bruges, Belgium) on 23 January 2008 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

A picture from yesterday evenings photography class, having 'silhouette' as assignment. Quite some fun I must say, playing with silhouettes. It's a complete different way of thinking, both for the photographer and for the model. You have to focus on completely different details.

As far as the setup is concerned: a white background, 2 soft boxes towards the white background (one on the left and one on the right hand side) and the model is positioned between the softboxes and the photographer. The more the model approaches the white background, the more light he/she will have on her bode.
