Silhouette of Child on Trike
I wanted to create a timeless, classic photograph of a child on a tricycle that would not be affected by changing clothes styles. I also wanted the kid on the tricycle to be “featureless” – meaning that anyone that sees the image could imagine themselves on the tricycle. The way to create such an image was to make the child on the trike a silhouette. A silhouette is an image of a person, object, or scene where the outline and a featureless interior, usually black is seen. As it turns out, Kodak liked the image so much, they used it for an advertising campaign in Today’s Parent magazine! . . .
