A Different Kind of Silhouette

in #creativecoin5 years ago (edited)

I took this photo in 2017 and have been trying to recreate this result ever since. I wanted something set apart from the normal silhouette photography – with NO post-production effects. It's especially difficult with my Olympus E600 and no specialty lenses or lighting effects. I took dozens of shots that day, but only two came out as I'd hoped. My model was extremely cooperative, especially when you consider she was a random person I accosted in front of the old post office and asked to photograph. When you also factor in that it was January and she obligingly removed her coat in ±50°F temperatures, her sunny cooperation with a completely random, crazy ginger was extraordinary!

Congratulations @momzillanc

There's actually no edit to this photo. That's the way it came out in the shot. As I explained, I took dozens (upon dozens) of shots to get this effect. There were no post-production edits. Thanks for curating it, but I don't actually see it in the curation-academy feed.
