It's an interesting photography technique that might appeal to you if you like impressionistic images. The idea of "shooting in the round" is to literally shoot a whole bunch of photos as you circle something, then composite them all in Photoshop by stacking the layers and varying the various opacity and blending mode of each layer.

What is Contre Jour Photography?
"Contre-jour (French for "against daylight") is a photographic technique in which the camera is pointing directly toward a source of light and an equivalent technique of painting. It was also used in paintings prior to its use in photography, where the shadows would fall to the left on the left, to the right on the right and forward in the lower centre. The edges of the subject would show surprising colour effects.Contre-jour produces backlighting of the subject. This effects usually hides details, causes a stronger contrast between light and dark, creates silhouettes and emphasizes lines and shapes. The sun, or other light source, is often seen as either a bright spot or as a strong glare behind the subject.[1] Fill light may be used to illuminate the side of the subject facing toward the camera."
