Shadow Contouring Photography

Midniight Playground is Daringly Dark

For some reason, I have never been a fan of gray-scale photography, yet the portfolio 'Midniight Playground' has completely changed my views on the matter. I mean, how can you not appreciate the art of shadow and light?

Photographed by Elizabeth Waugh, the photos in the 'Midniight Playground' portfolio couldn't have come together so beautifully without a dedicated team effort. Joining Waugh on set was stylist Pamela Shepard, makeup artist Jessica Ross, hair stylist Angela Soto and, of course, model Victoria P.
