# Shadow Play Photography 'Light' by Patrycja Soltan Explores Darkness Through Illumination By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2010-03-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-by-patrycja-soltan References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/light/445039) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/patrycjasoltan) I love chiaroscuro and the interplay between light and dark, so 'Light' by Patrycja Soltan is the sort of photo shoot that's right up my alley. Soltan photographs a lingerie-clad model in a variety of [shadowy rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loops-lamp) that are illuminated sparsely with projected patterns. We've featured a number of [fashion shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) that fixate on the [interplay between darkness and light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/between-the-lightness-and-the-darkness).
