Why I like to take them is because I like the way you can hide a subjects details yet still have an idea of what it is or who it is. I also like how when you see a silhouette, most of the time people pose, by doing an action such as jumping. This is where skateboarding comes in, as i love to mix skateboarding with silhouettes as you can see the action happening, but not see exactly what it is, yet you still know it is skateboarding. I like this sense of not knowing. I also enjoy the technical side to it as I am a very technical person, i like to take the photo myself, and learn how to create the silhouette, by casting the light behind the subject rather than the traditional infront.
This is why I enjoy silhouette photography.
