The following advice will help you become an expert in the field of silhouette photography : 

1. Choose the Right Time of Day : The best time to capture stunning silhouettes is during the golden hours, shortly after sunrise or before sunset. This natural light provides the perfect backdrop for creating dramatic silhouettes. 
2. Find a Strong Subject : Look for subjects with recognizable shapes and interesting outlines, like tree, people, animals and surrounding objects.
3. Contrast is the key : There must be a dramatic contrast between your subject and the background in order to create an eye-catching silhouette. To get a high contrast, place your subject in front of a bright light source, such as the sun or a highly illuminated sky.
4. Meter for the Background: When metering your exposure, focus on the background rather than the subject. This will ensure that the background is properly exposed, while the subject remains in shadow, creating a silhouette effect. Use manual exposure mode for more control over your exposure settings.
5. Silhouettes in Motion: Experiment with moving subjects like bird, animal or people with different shutter speeds. 
6. Experiment with color: Experiment with colored backgrounds to create unique and eye-catching effects. Look for colorful sunrise or sunsets. 
7. Use a Telephoto Lens: Use a telephoto lens to separate and enhance your subject. Modern smartphone comes with inbuilt telephoto lens, you can use that. 
8. Keep it simple: Keep your composition clean and focus on capturing the essence of your subject. Avoid messy background and distractions. 

By following these tips, you can take your silhouette photography to the next level and capture stunning pictures. Grab your smartphone, go outside, and start exploring the world of Silhouette photography!
