When a photograph is taken into the light, the subject appears completely dark against a lighter background. In other words, you take the photograph keeping the subject or object between you and the sun and the silhouette effect is created. Silhouette is a very popular mode of photography and when done properly does give a very artistic touch to the photograph.
Just knowing the technique of course is not enough, it is the artist the right moment that creates the magic. It is the imagination and creative thinking of the artist and the right placement of objects that gives you that perfect silhouette photography. They say, a picture is worth a thousand words and very rightly said too. A well taken photograph can express a lot; it can capture your imagination. Silhouette photos can evoke very strong emotions. See it for yourself.
Listed below are a few of the finest silhouette photos by very good photographers.

Silhouette, also called Silhoutte or Silhoute is an artistic form of photography. Silhouette is when you take a photo and the focal object of the image is just a shadow. You don’t see the details, just a black color. See the thumbnail for an example. In this post, I have collected some of the best photos containing this effect.
Photographers can add this effect in photos themselves and it does not require much expertise of using Photoshop to make it. I might make a tutorial for novice Photoshop users to make this effect.
By the way, the correct spelling is indeed Silhouette.
