Silhouette

Posted by Jan (Bruges, Belgium) on 30 January 2008 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

Another story about the silhouette assignment Thomas and I had. The black background was much more difficult than the white background, simply because the contours are now even more visible. No more two soft boxes bouncing their light onto the white background, ... just a small spot light, between the model and the black background, shining towards the photographer. You have to make sure the camera's sensor should not receive any direct light from the spot light.
Not an easy assignment... You like it or you don't.
There is no light near the models lips, because there is just no hair on the lips :)
