Holy crap that clown one scared me nearly to death! I have a severe fear of clowns thanks to that Stephen King movie I watched when I was 12. I for one love your images, so surreal and terrifying. I now have a dark and twisted imagination due to all the horrors I’ve read/seen/heard about. Great job on these!

very interesting work, lovely in fact! i just have to take exception to your disclaimer re photoshop. i’m not sure if you meant to, but it seems you feel there is more integrity in your work because you don’t use photoshop to create your images. if using models works for you, great. i’m all for it. but please don’t disparage those of us that use photoshop for more than tweaking colors and contrasts. photoshop is just another tool in the artistic arsenal, no better, no worse than a pencil, a camera, a brush, some fingers, or a figure model. each to his own.

This is really amazing! It’s like everything I was scared of when I was a kid, exactly. All those things I could never quite put a face to, yet feared nonetheless, are finally on film and I think it is actually quite remarkable. Honestly it may help people with fears that they cannot explain, to be able to confront their unexplained fears with an image that is clearly defined right before them. You can’t be afraid of the unknown when the unknown is right before you, plain as day, and no longer unknown. Quite an achievement.

Amazing work, very creative and ingenious.

To those that are judging the use of kids, Get over it.

Umm..Firestarter, Nightmare of Elm Street, Friday the 13th, etc…all used kids. It’s thinking outside of the box, outside of the “safe” reality, outside of the suburban home that can make a exceptional artist. We as kids all grew up fearing something. Whether it was fearing meeting new people in a new school to the boogie man.

It’s called make-believe! Remember.

“The thing under my bed waiting to grab my ankle isn’t real. I know that, and I also know that if I’m careful to keep my foot under the covers, it will never be able to grab my ankle.”

I get the point. I understand the expression here, and from technical aspects I appreciate these and they’ve obviously accomplished their goal with an added bonus of shock value.. but I feel bad for some of the children in the more graphic photos. I would be very confused after this if I were little. Maybe because I am a parent, but I wouldn’t really want my children o be exposed to this. I had all of these “fears” and then some as a child, and still do. Who doesn’t?
