I love to experiment. I believe it is the only way to truly learn something and explore your creativeness within.
Soooo…. I decided to have a little fun with some silhouettes the other night and was happy with how they turned out. I am always being asked how I manage to achieve different effects so I thought I’d share this one with you.
1. Placed a white sheet as a backdrop with some high powered work lights behind. You can view the actual setup details here.
2. Had one of my sons & my daughter stand in front of the light and snapped away until I found one I liked.
3. Boosted the light slightly in PS and then added 2 texture overlays - Brick wall with graffiti and the other music.
Easy really!
Feel free to leave any comments below. Have fun experimenting!
