When asked, most people do not know what the art of silhouette
cutting is. Some think it is a performance art using shadows, others think
that it is produced using trick photography and most seem to think it is similar
form to caricatures. In fact silhouettes do touch upon some of theses
ideas but also offers a lot more as you will find out by looking through this
site.
To give you some idea, silhouette art was established in 18th Century Paris
before photography was introduced which saw the need for these minature profiles
decline. Silhouette cutting is now a highly rare art form. To find out more please

Contrary to what most people think who can not believe what they are seeing
when they have there own silhouette cut, there is no trick photography or templates
involved in producing the miniature profiles, this is a skilled art after all,
other wise everyone would be doing it. See the
