Dimly-Lit Photo Shoots

Lindsey Thoeng's 'Sensuality & Light' is a Study in Seduction

You might think that the effect of full studio lights on a scantily-clad model is hot, but Lindsey Thoeng’s ‘Sensuality & Light’ shoot might open your eyes to a new take on seduction that involves significantly less light.

In each of the images in Lindsey Thoeng’s ‘Sensuality & Light,’ a small bit of light shines on one part of the model; the rest of the shot is pitch black. What remains visible—whether it’s the model’s neck, décolleté or her collarbones—is a study on minimalist seduction.
