How to unlock the One With the Shadows achievement in Hitman: Absolution - Definitive Guide
To get this to pop, you must alert the cops/guards and become hostile. Then you must get out of sight, and change your disguise.
Then just wait for you to return to a calm state.
You do not need to enter a hiding place, or blend in with an object. There are other achievements for that. You simply need to lose your heat by changing your disguise. Not sure why other guides didn't mention that.
It can be obtained on any level, but for a real easy way :
Load level 2, the king of Chinatown.
Walk to the drug dealers alley, and kill the cop at the bottom. Shoot a few civilians until you are hostile and the cops are shooting at you.
Run upstairs to the drug dealers flat, and kill him. Then steal his disguise.
From here do what you want, hide, enter a closet, or just walk past all the cops back into Chinatown.
The achievement will pop up as soon as it goes calm.
Every video I've found only shows one cop. What's going on? I'm playing on hard difficulty (the lowest of the professional grades).
i also recommend killing the dealer, taking his disguise, and leaving. the target kept running over and blowing my cover until i decided to just walk down the alley past him, achievement popped once i hit the plaza.
If done properly you can unlock this with ease, but if you’re having trouble the video below will guide you through doing this.

This can only be obtained after the first level. You must cause mischief/chaos within an area. Run around being careless, shooting people, not sneaking around, etc. Enemies will become hostile and attack you. Hide from the enemies and once things are back to normal in a calm "Clear" state, the achievement will unlock (see Damage Control for similar achievement but killing everyone).
A very easy spot for this is Mission 3: Terminus. Go to the left of the hotel doors and down the ladder. There are only 2 people down there. Kill them openly and then hide until you get the achievement.
Note: It's claimed you must get into a disguise for it to unlock the achievement.
Another easy trophy, which you should and will most likely get from general gameplay. When an enemy goes orange on the mini-map, that means you have their attention. All you need to do is lose them. This can be done in a few ways, but the best way is on the mission "The King of Chinatown" go down to where the alleyway to the sports car begins then up the small set of stairs. There is a cop who will always be standing there with the crowd and he has his back to you, subdue him with (Sandman Unlocked). You should now see a picture of 47 in his suit in the bottom left corner. Now quickly go down the sports car alley and shoot the cop there and change into his uniform. Just casually walk off from the scene then until you reach the other side of the map. You can interact with a menu if you want to hide, but it's not required. The trophy will unlock when everything returns to normal.

Just get anyone hostile and subdue someone with and change your disguise and stay out of sight until everyone goes back to normal.
Trophy should pop along with if you haven't subdued someone yet.
