Photographer Spotlights: Joshua Hoffine

I stumbled upon the website of an amazing horror photographer. Every piece has been made with as much care and crafting as the set of a horror movie.
Which makes sense, since Joshua is strongly influenced by Horror movie legends Mario Bava and Walt Disney.

“My images are not photoshop collages.I use photoshop to finesse details and to adjust color and contrast for printing.I use friends and family members as
actors and crew.Everyone works for free. We do it for fun.” says Joshua Hoffine whose eye catching artworks may remind us of our very own childhood fears!

 

They remind me of the Halloween song I used to sing

Night Noises

Night-time noises, shapes and shadows,
Creeping round my bed;
Dad says it's imagination,
all inside my head.

I hear something big and furry
Creeping round the house;
I'm so frightened, please what is it?
....Silly, it's a mouse.

Two green eyes are at the window
Staring at the mat;
I'm so frightened, please what is it?
...Silly, it's a cat.

I can see enormous fingers
Pointing right at me;
I'm so frightened, please what is it?
...Silly, it's a tree.

I can see a great white face that's
Looking in my room;
I'm so frightened, please what is it?
...Silly, it's the moon.

Night-time noises, shapes and shadows,
Couldn't hurt a flea;
They were just imagination,
All made up by me.

Joy Moore and Raymond Long
