Photo Challenge #5: Striking Silhouettes

Using backlight to render your subject as a silhouette is a creative approach that develops mystery, drama and a certain timelessness in a photograph. The resulting images benefit from a bold, graphic presence and can emphasize color through strong contrast.

If you haven’t explored silhouette photography before, here’s an easy introduction to the technique.

Submit your images for this Photo Challenge by September 30. The winning image and photographer will be showcased on our website and on social media.
