HOW TO TAKE A SILHOUETTE PICTURE?

1. Have your subject stand or sit straight, in profile, against a light colored background.

2. Position yourself right at their eye level, so that you are not looking up or down at them.

3. Make sure to include their entire head, shoulders and hair in the photo.

4. The subject should have a relaxed, natural expression on their face. *For girls, we recommend having their hair up in a bun or ponytail so that their neckline is visible.

5. If you want full body shots, they tend to work best when the arms and legs are visible, not held closely to the body.

6. If you want family shots, they work best with spacing between each person, i.e. holding hands with arms slightly extended. If you're holding a child make sure they are held up and out from your body, to insure there is definition between each person.
