When you are taking a subject which has strong light and deep shadows, you have to capture both details and range of tones. You can do it by taking two or more different shots or images. When your subject is not moving, it is easy for you to have several original and identical images. Then seize different exposures. After that, you can combine them together to give an atmosphere of transparency. Bear in mind though, that you have to know exposure latitude. If you are not sure about what you are doing, just bracket exposures to capture highlights and shadows.
