What is the light that can create a silhouette effect and outline the outline of the subject?

The light that can produce silhouette effect and outline the outline of the subject is silhouette light.

Side light plays a role in outlining the main body. When the tones of the subject and the background overlap (for example, the subject is dark and the background is dark), the side light plays a role in separating the subject and the background. In artificial lighting, contour light is often used in combination with main light and auxiliary light, which makes the tone level of the picture varied and increases the aesthetic feeling of the picture form.

Side light shooting:

1, find a good light source

To create an outline, the theme should be between the photographer and the light source. This technology, also known as backlight, can reduce the main body to a black outline, and its details will be obscured by shadows. Of course, one of the best light sources is the sun, especially in prime time. Because the sun is at the lowest point on the horizon during this time, it will produce a richer and more dramatic outline.

When the outline is combined with the golden sky, it is even more magical.

2. Capture a clear outline.

When shooting the outline, please choose the subject whose outline is easy to recognize. Avoid looking like a big black block in the photo. For example, when shooting people, you should shoot the stretched limbs or clearly highlight their body contours.
