Silhouette

I love doing these type of images... and even though I have some clients that do not understand the concept of a silhouette, (mostly the older parents..."too bad we can't see the faces") the couples, for the most part like it! This image was taken at Castaway restaurant in Los Angeles area, a long time ago!, and I gave the restaurant a big print for their offices... They loved it!!! and it, among the other prints that I gave them, brought me a great deal of work. As a matter of fact, I was there not too long ago, and they still have my images on their wall, and on their catalog!

Hey Frank,

This is really nice. I think good silhouetted photos is a dying art. We are so used to all that we can do with the great dynamic range of our DSLRs we have lost sight of the silhouette.

You are right Jim! I think there is something about only I and them knowing WHO is in that image... silhouettes and shadows is something that I try to do in every event... but for the most part, I do it for me! Wether the clients like it or not! Sometimes they "see" it! Sometimes not.
