The photo series starring model Anne Duffy by Peter Coulson, a photographer based in Melbourne, Australia, is a lesson in [light and shadows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightware-series). Although such grayscale images would normally be quite minimalist for some, this photographer dramatizes it for a static performance piece that is sure to stir up a slew of emotions.

Nevertheless, the photo series starring Anne Duffy by Peter Coulson could easily be appreciated for technical reasons alone. From the composition to the lighting, everything is impeccably executed. To accentuate both the look and feel of the photoshoot, beauty artist Caroline Olweny played with [theatrical makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) and voluminously curled updos. Overall, Duffy appears to be some sort of apparition in the photo series.
