Silhouette

Most of the images in this project came from the night of Halloween, where I was at a friend's house, eating food, playing basketball, and helping hand out candy. At the house, I tried to capture the elements of Halloween through shadows, pumpkins, and trick or treating. I looked for strong sources of backlight and put subjects in front of it to create the silhouette lighting. All of the images, obviously, have silhouette as their main composition rule. Others I tried to incorporate is high and low key lighting, some framing, and in the image of the shadow palming a basketball, there is some soft focus. As the project progressed, I learned how to take better images in the dark with backlight. I also learned how to edit photos to create more of a silhouette effect. I would probably want to figure out how to make the images crisper when taking them, as they're all a little bit fuzzy.
