Twilight originally refers to the English term for twilight, but is mainly used as a synonym for Stephenie Meyer’s popular book and film series. The series tells the story of vampires, werewolves and human protagonists in a romantic-dramatic setting. It has significantly shaped the portrayal of vampires and fantasy romances in pop culture and influences fashion, aesthetics and staging styles.
In photography, the theme of Twilight can be used as a creative inspiration to stage male models in romantic-gloomy, mystical or fantastic roles. With dramatic lighting, Gothic or Victorian elements, costumes and make-up, image worlds are created that are located between dark fashion, fantasy and aesthetic narrative photography. The term thus serves as an aesthetic reference point for creating narrative and visually appealing productions.
