I have been photographing silhouettes for many years dating back to the days of film, yet never tire of them. Very simple in form while triggering the emotions, drawing you into a deeper, more meaningful moment or romantic story. Capturing silhouettes with a camera is quite simple as long as you expose for the sky turn off your flash.

The majority of these images were obtained using available window light in the home. It just seems easier to not take the baby out. If flash was used, it was bounced for fill only and not direct.
I was the father’s kindergarten teacher and photographed the couple’s wedding, so I feel truly blessed to capture this miracle of life.
“I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful — an endless prospect of magic and wonder.”

Give an autumn image a little nudge using Photoshop.
A few adjustments in channel mixer, blending, selective colors and filter photoshop effect.
Another option is using Photoshop to add lens flare for an extra kick.
Enjoy these last days of autumn…
…until that magical first snowfall!
