Shot in a studio. Model is standing on a bar stool due to her being too short and me wanting full body silhouette shots.

Location
This photo was taken in a studio, and it was part of an entire silhouette photo shoot with the model wearing different costumes.Time
It was taken in the afternoon, but it was indoors in a studio.Lighting
I was using two Canon 580 EX2 flashes to light the background behind her so she will be silhouetted by the light reflecting from the background back.Equipment
I used the Canon 5D mark2 camera and the 24-105mm F4 IS L lens made by Canon as well as two 580EX2 flashes.Inspiration
I was always interested in getting some very nice silhouette type photos so this was a chance to try different poses and outfits with a model that has a very tiny waist so it will show up very clearly in the photos.Editing
I didn't do much post-processing in the photo and it is in colour although it appears to be in B&W due to the silhouette nature and the white wall behind her.In my camera bag
I normally shoot with my Canon 60D and the 24-105mm F4 lens, or the Rokinon 8mm fisheye lens. I also sometimes use my Canon 5D mark 3 or my Canon EOS M with the 20mm f2.0 lens.Feedback
Make sure the background is clean and reflective, a white wall would work and point the light at the background and play with the settings until you can get a crisp silhouette, you may need to go down to F16 or F22 for that to happen. Remember to also have fun!
