As my first post in regards to lighting and technique, Im looking at Joshua Hoffine and his horror images. Since I wanted to do horror portraits as my own portfolio set, his work is of interest to me. The main thing about his images that are relevant is his scenarios he creates with props and use of studio lighting to illuminate the scene. These images capture my attention due to their dark appearance and very detailed setups. Hoffine also uses children in alot of his images to give off that sense of innocence, and wonderment in a dark and cruel world that is out to get them.
I hope to relate to his work in a much simpler context, as I will be doing portraits instead of large settings. However, I want to be able to establish a mood with the lights and gel filters that Hoffine has in many of his images. Not only that, but even with his dark toned images, the colors are vibrant and that is another factor I want to emulate.
