We describe wave propagation and soliton localization in photonic latticeswhich are induced in a nonlinear medium by an optical interference pattern,taking into account the inherent lattice deformations at the soliton location.We obtain exact analytical solutions and identify the key factors definingsoliton mobility, including the effects of gap merging and lattice imbalance,underlying the differences with discrete and gap solitons in conventionalphotonic structures.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
