I was in my photography class when I took this picture. I was investigating different ways to take pictures when I came across a tutorial on how to shoot silhouettes of people. Then an idea popped in my head that became something special. When I see or hear the word investigation, I always think of mystery. There are crime scenes to investigate, solve murders, and catch criminals. What better way to depict the word investigate then the man who solved all crimes, who is smarter then the average man, the literal fictional character himself, Sherlock Holmes. This picture meant a lot to me because I learned something new and had to take this picture using the limited resources I had. The silhouette was taken using a model (a classmate), a cardboard cutout of the famous Sherlock Holmes hat, and a cardboard cutout of a pipe. I used a backdrop with a softbox in front of it and had my model sit in front of the softbox, to create a light behind her. The light behind made it easy to give my model a dark front to give an illusion of a silhouette.
