Silhouetted faces in profile with high-contrast rim lighting technique

High-contrast monochromatic composition employing rim lighting methodology to isolate two human profiles against black background. White edge illumination defines facial contours, hair texture, and shoulder positioning with precise tonal separation. Backlighting technique creates silhouette effect while maintaining selective highlight zones on facial features and garment surfaces. Compositional arrangement positions profiles in near-contact proximity, generating visual tension through negative space manipulation and grayscale tonal gradation.
