While looking for some material to discuss this week, I was watching a video on a old school mad lad Michelangelo. It got me wondering, was there any modern day crazed men of the arts? Unsure, before I could get very far I found myself in this article listed below.

🌙 10 Of The Most Unsettling Modern Artists

Of these, number 3 caught my eye the hardest. The first of three sculpture artists featured in the top 10. This man stood out to me for being a photographer. A horror photographer. A Hallmark card photographer turned horror photographer no less. Meet Joshua Hoffine.

Check out this site to see some badass behind the scenes pictures of various shoots.

🌙 Joshua Hoffine (Langly Interview)

His work has been found in “Rue Morgue, Fangoria, Horror Hound, Scream UK, Virus, and Famous Monsters of Filmland. His commercial clients include Sony, Universal Studios, AMC Theaters, and The National Opera of Paris.”
“I stage my photo-shoots like small movies, with sets, costumes, elaborate props, fog machines, and SPFX make-up. Everything is acted out live in front of the camera.”
“I use a fog machine every chance I get.”
It only took one year between asking why horror photography wasn’t more prevalent and doing the damned thing.

🌙 Joshua Hoffine – Horror Photography: Interview & Review

He is from Kansas City.
“I love monsters and Halloween and the frisson of being scared out of my wits. As a an adult, I’ve come to regard the genre as complex, psychological, metaphorical, and even existential in nature. I believe Horror can be as deep as the artist is willing to take it.”
He locks the camera down to one spot with a tripod and takes hundreds of photos from the same angle.
He also made a short film called Black Lullaby

🌙 Evil Genius With A Camera: Interview With Joshua Hoffine

“I like all types of Horror, and have favorites in almost every sub-genre. Growing up my 2 favorites were Poltergeist, which I saw in the theater as a little kid with my mom and sisters, and Evil Dead 2, which I watched on VHS at least 30 times before graduating from high school.”
“Max Schreck as Nosferatu might be my favorite monster.”
