Default freaky murder

i love watching movies for the lighting.

i noticed that many "scary" movies.. or horror movies (particularly SAW), the majority of the "oh no something bad is happening" lighting was green.


also, many cartoons, when something menacing and evil is looming over them, the lighting is harsh, and from underneath.

SO! i combined the two for my take on the age old "crazed murderer" type shot.

Murder - 22/52

Interesting. I think that the killer would have more blood spots all over him with a knife that size. It does leave the impression that he is about to grab you and stab a knife into your chest. Bravo.

I love the work you do candleman, you have a very artistic mind (now I said artistic not autistic). How long do you take to think out some of these wonderful pictures you conjure up?

Green can be an eerie color. I like the green highlights on the knife! You've done a great job on the lighting.

I just knew from the title you'd have something really far out. LOVE IT!

You seem to be a natural in that role.

Great lighting and depth, Jared. Very cool photo!

Great set-up, fantastic shot, instinctively I reached for the .45 and then caught myself, okay it's just a photo. Thanks for sharing.

Thumbs up

This is excellent! I think you pulled it off very well, though have to agree...a little more blood on your shirt might nail the coffin shut (hardy har har! )

I greatly enjoy checkin out your images, they are so imaginative. Nice work!
