This week's blog is all about horror the craft of creating a creepy yet, eye catching image. I figured this subject was appropriate since October is so near and also the fact I am going to Howl-O-Scream tonight; so I am in the mood to look into the creepy and scary. This week's blog is dedicated to none other than Joshua Hoffine.
Hoffine calls himself a Horror Photographer and is interested in the psychology of fear. Much of his work explore the fears of mostly children, but also influences adult fears as well.I love how talented Joshua is and the children as well. The children look actually and truly terrified. I love how his images appear lifelike, but also look as of a fairy tail and/or dream; well actually, a nightmare. His horrifying thyme is very much so an art. the use of colors are done well as well. its the pop of color that catches the eye, but also is somewhat a symbol; like the balloons being held by a clown, or the colors on painted toy blocks, which represent childhood.
Joshua's work is definitely worth looking at if you're into the terrifying and creepy. His goal is to show people what they don't want to see, which ends up making people want to look more, especially into details portrayed in his work. This was quite a fun photographer to look into and definitely increased my excitement for October, and Halloween to get here!
