PICKING THE IMAGES

you don’t have to shoot your silhouette and fill images at the same time. your camera will actually allow you to select any image as a starting point. this is great if you don’t have a long time to work with your subject, or if they’re in two completely separate locations. if your model is in a hurry, simply snap their portrait and fill it in when you find a suitable detail later on. you can use any base image, as long as it’s on your card in an unedited raw format (and it’s from the same camera).
