Which is the correct definition of the word silhouette?

a silhouette is a shadow or a void of an object or something. At the best it is more than a shadow, it is mastered by an artist skilled in hand-cutting portraits from viewing. At the worst, it is a tracing of a shadow, or a photo-shop. The word silhouette came from Augustin Edourt who changed the term "shades" which were often wall tracings, to silhouette after the authentic hand-cut profiles Etienne de Silhouette admired. silhouettesbycindi.com


What type of light is necessary for a silhouette?

To create a silhouette, you need a strong backlight that illuminates the subject from behind while keeping the subject itself in shadow. This is typically achieved using a bright light source, such as the sun or a strong artificial light, positioned directly behind the subject. The contrast between the brightly lit background and the dark silhouette enhances the effect. Soft or diffuse light in front of the subject should be minimized to maintain the silhouette's definition.
