Between photographer and the characters that move is a frame, like a picture frame with white cloth, on which their shadows are seen due to projection lights from far plan.

MorrisJOY91, my apologies, my comment was meant very much as a compliment--the image is mysterious and intriguing to me....and I find my questions are different each time I view it. Good work.

Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken indoors, during the opening of a photo exhibition organized by Iris Photoclub on the evening of December 12th, 2014, at “Casa de Cultura a Studentilor” in Timisoara, Romania. My girlfriend Andrea and I were there as guests of one of exhibitors, a photographer friend.Time
This was taken shortly after speeches introducing the exhibition had been spoken and the impressed crowd was already applauded. We were invited to remain to watch a little surprise show with topic related to the exhibitions. I remember that there were two photo exhibitions, one upstairs "Paroxysm" and another down the hall "Shadows". Or vice versa.. We stayed and so I made this photo “Shadows performance” at 7:57 PM.Lighting
In front of viewers they have quickly built a screen (something like a picture frame with white cloth in the middle) and some people moved behind her. Moving shadows were projected on the screen due to backlighting of some reflectors.Equipment
This could be intriguing, but this was shot on a LG G2 smartphone with a 13 Megapixels camera, no tripod or other equipment used.Inspiration
I did not expect a performance after the exhibition. But the very moment it started, I understood immediately it was an open invitation for good photos. So I started taking pictures. With every move they made, the shadow effects projected on the screen become more and more interesting and creative.Editing
Even if shadows could suggest a kind of processing rather than a movement, it is because how the lights fall on the screen. Silhouettes have multiple contours since there were several light sources. And I wanted to clarify this in order to remove any doubt of post-processing. On the other hand, it could be a win also as a monochrome image, so a small post-processing will do. However, it's almost monochrome, with only a few spots turquoise blue and I preffered it more this way.In my camera bag
Actually there is no photo bag. I still use a smartphone, because I enjoy travel lightweighted.Feedback
Take multiple shots to increase your chances to get the image you look for!
