Photo Tips for Perfect Silhouettes

• Place subject in front of a well-lit background, facing either left or right.
• Only one side of the face must show on the photo and entire head should be in the photo.
• A relaxed face helps to show the features (eyelashes, nose, lips) more realistically although smiling faces are cute too. It's up to you how you want to photograph them.
• Pictures taken with a phone camera work too. Just make sure to take the photos in good lighting, during the daytime is preferred.
• If photographing more than one person, take individual pictures.
• Remember to take the picture straight at eye level with the person you are photographing, standing about 2-4 feet away.
• If person has long hair (past the shoulder line) put it up. Ponytails, braids, messy buns really do make for cute silhouettes and add character to the final silhouette.
• For full body silhouettes, take a picture of the people standing, walking away or towards the camera. This works well when photographing siblings.
• When photographing babies, try taking the picture when they are asleep. Hold the camera directly above their face, with only one side of the face showing.
