If I was asked to name a photojournalist who is able to tell a story in each of his picture while capturing beauty at the same time it must be Vincent Laforet.
Well, he was not awarded with the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for nothing.
You can enjoy viewing his portfolio here and read his interview here.
Photographers, amateurs and pro alike, never fail to be amazed by silhouette.
Silhouette is a wonderful way to tell story, convey drama, capture beauty, evoke a sense of mystery and it is also used to express your mood, feelings and emotion to the viewers.
Silhouette has been a successful formula for professional photographers and photojournalist – sport photographers, war photographers, wedding photographers – you name it they have it.
Like other photographers I can’t help loving it and will try to capture it whenever appropriate and whenever the light and subject match each other to form a silhouette.
Wikipedia has intesresting definition of silhouette which touches on not only photography but a wider scope of application like in art, painting, graphic design and journalism.
Wikipedia has even gone extra mile by providing a gallery of silhouette photographs taken by various photographers for your viewing pleasure here.
