Patrick Hoelck brings out the delectably dark side of the celebrities he photographs. By carefully manipulating shadows and light, Hoelck creates a heightened sense of drama, turning our favorite celebrities into strangely intriguing characters.

“It's funny,” he says. “People say, ‘You're dark,' and I'm like, ‘No! I used to be really dark!' My retouchers guide me here. I see the world in a different way and I alter reality to fit the way I see. I always like the complications of altering it as opposed to going natural. I've always seen the world that way, and that's how I shoot it. I see things popping out—like somebody's eyes or soul.
