		<description><![CDATA[It goes without saying that I love silhouette images.  You get the shape and form of the figure, but the dark shadows obscure details.  Nudes can still be mysterious, and portraits are full of intrigue.

So, in the past installments, I&#8217;ve talked about different ways to use the lighting and length of exposure to  capture the felling of movement.  Another tool at the photographer&#8217;s disposal is [...]]]></description>

In part 3, I talked about using a single long exposure, constant lighting, and the model punctuating the movement with held poses.
