The story behind the image
Directions
Describe how you spoke to your subject(s)
I asked the couple to go to the center of the rock and stand facing each other.
What did you say?
Stand with your faces close to each other but without touching and without too much movement, just contemplate each other’s presence.

Calm
Composition
Pedra Furada is a well-known spot, having a couple in the center with the sun in the background would bring me a very good result of a silhouette, like a painting for an art exhibition.

Describe how you spoke to your subject(s)
I used Sony’s auto focus, which is absurdly fast and precise.

The way the EXIF is written out follows the common photographic method (with the inclusion of White Balance at the end). Here it is broken down:
Shutter Speed @ Aperture ISO White Balance.
Light & Weather
I used the backlight to create a cutout of the couple and exposed for the highlights. This naturally means the subjects would be very underexposed and create the silhouette that I was after.

Challenges
Scaling the mountain before sunrise was one of the challenges, we arrived at the top very tired, but it was worth it.
Solutions
We arrived early at the location so we wouldn’t miss the correct light for this type of photography.

It is very important to emphasize that light makes all the difference in this type of photography, when you want something like a silhouette, try to shoot at times when the sun is horizontal and in the background of the main subject.
