Shadow Play is a cinematic black-and-white fine art photography portrait from Sahin Dellemann’s ongoing series Girls Like Us — a body of work exploring women with unspoken stories, hidden layers, and inner worlds that remain just out of reach.
 
Photographed in Dellemann’s signature film-noir aesthetic, the image blends sculptural light, dramatic shadow, and intimate realism. The model’s pose, the sharp contrast, and the architectural background create a sense of tension and mystery — a moment suspended between vulnerability and strength.
The work reflects Dellemann’s photographic language: a fusion of documentary honesty, stylised elegance, and cinematic tension.

Shadow Play stands as a defining example of this balance between realism and staging within contemporary fine art photography.
 
The Fine-art portrait is printed on museum-grade Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta, the square 40 × 40 cm format intensifies graphic clarity and tonal depth.
 
Each print is released as a strictly limited edition of 10, is hand-signed by the artist, and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
