Joshua Hoffine- Horror Series

Man! This first one! doesnt necessarily work with the series in my opinion, but so good. It's gracefully acrobatic and rich with meaning. Like the palette, theatrics, lighting, complimenting important colors, and how the bather's flowing hair beautifully mirrors the grotesquely gushing jugular.
The rest are pretty one-dimensional. I think the lighting is deliberate and successful. I think imagery that is supposed to frighten is difficult because once all is exposed, the unknown factor is eliminated and scare is a much more difficult task. I think Hoffine did a decent job in tackling this risky task. It is my way to have a hard time with images that I don't have a chance to think or use my imagination, therefore I find these fun to look at but unfortunately they have that 'Next!' quality.
