Stock Photos
The image below is the stock photo we used to create this tutorial. We used the highest resolution image for this tutorial but you can follow this tutorial with a lower resolution image. You can also use your own image. We recommend starting with a photo of a model and a simple light background.
Step 1 – Open the image of the dancer
Load the image of the dancer into Photoshop. To do this, choose File > Open, browse for the file, then click OK. Note that this effect only works on photos with a simple background.
Step 2 – Duplicate the layer
Press Ctrl+J or choose Layer > Duplicate Layer to create a copy of the layer.
Step 3 – Apply Threshold
Choose Image > Adjustments > Threshold. Adjust the input slider so that most the background disappears and only the shadows of the model is in black.
