About

Playing with light is a fashion editorial series that explores the interplay of direct illumination and shadow. Captured by photographer Jeanne Dart, the project features a sequence of vertical portraits that rely on high-contrast techniques, including low-key chiaroscuro lighting and long exposure motion blur. The imagery utilizes minimalist backdrops, projection mapping, and abstract light patterns to emphasize the textures of the apparel, ranging from shimmering metallic garments to structured white jumpsuits. By balancing warm gold tones with cool blue and orange accents, the series maintains a clean, moody aesthetic focused on silhouette and tonal depth.
