Lorna Simpson's Necklines is a great example of how to use contrast to reveal the subtle contours and curves of the human body. The light raps around the figure revealing peaks and casting even the smallest crevice into shadow. You can clearly see the slope of the neck and the dimples created by the collar bone. I especially love the middle image which beautifully exposes lips of the figure using the light to pull them away from the chin. The extra touch of the white shirt to contrast the dark background is also quite inspiring.
