Horror and Macabre Photography Gallery

Official Gallery Description

Photographs which focus on the frightening, grotesque and disturbing.


Extended Gallery Description

This is a photography gallery which means that the majority of the piece should be created in-camera. Adding blood splatter brushes, a crackled texture to skin, or cloning out the iris and pupils of your eye makes your work digital art and/or a photomanipulation.

"Frightening, grotesque, and disturbing" refers to work that has an atmosphere. Think in terms of horror movies. Despite the fact that there are many different sub-genres of horror, they all have one thing in common... atmosphere. That eerie creepy feeling that crawls up the back of your spine, the bump in the night, the twisty turny thing your stomach does when the splatter of blood hits the ground.... THAT is atmosphere.... it's the demon in your closet waiting for the night to fall to come get you and the thrill of it all.
