Day 16 is silhouette day — put your subject between you and a bright background, and let the shadows do the talking.
Day 16 is silhouette day — one of my favorite kinds of photography. The recipe is simple: put your subject between you and a bright background, like a sunset sky, and let the subject fall into bold, dark shadow. Simple shapes work best, and on a phone you can tap the bright sky to set your exposure and watch the magic happen. A good silhouette doesn't show you every detail, and that's exactly why it stays with you.
