It’s not often that I come across another dark photographer whose work bruises my chin when my mouth drops open in awe. The two images below are prime examples of David’s macabre photography and I doubt that anyone just flicks them aside. They draw the viewer in and you can’t help wondering what on Earth is happening.
I asked David to send me two of his favourite macabre photos and his inspiration for creating them.
‘Much of my inspiration comes from a variety of modern horror directors, combined with some of the odd things I dream occasionally. Oddly, what other people sometimes find to be nightmares, I usually wake up and try to file away in my head as a creative idea. Sometimes I wake up somewhat terrified by what I’ve seen. But, after a moment, realize, it’s just my head working out creative concepts while I sleep.
The first is one that has a story to it. I had made plans with my Makeup Artist I use and a model to shoot some macabre work outdoors, and it was pouring rain that day. Well, the model, being a real dedicated woman, decided she wanted to use it to our advantage, so we went out and she used it to our advantage. She got down in the mud and started smearing it on her dress, tearing it here and there, and getting mud in her hair for me as I told her my ideas.
Directors such as Takashi Shimizu (The Grudge) and Gore Verbinski (The Ring) were some of my inspirations. I, of course also grew up with such things as "Thriller" which was my inspiration for some of the more "Zombie"-like images I create, like the second one.’

Last night my daughter shouts me into the living room and she’s in hysterics at an old show of Jerry Springer. She was only a baby in the 90’s so seeing Jerry for the first time was very amusing for her.
Watching it last night got me thinking about how much I miss the old Jerry Springer shows, being totally shocked at the outrageous antics. Never in a million years would a British TV show allow fighting like that, hence why Jerry was always put on late at night.
In remembrance of these shows, I’ve found some excellent clips on YouTube for us all to enjoy.
I really don’t know what to say about the Midget KKK!

I don’t know how much longer I can hold out for the debut of Drew Daywalt’s web series (20 episodes), Camera Obscura, which I believe will be available to watch on 20 different platforms including YouTube.
Camera Obscura is the story of Clara Carson, a woman raised by her grandfather, who, upon his death, has to clean out his house. What she quickly discovers is that he wasn’t just a crime scene photographer. He was also a demon catcher, who hunted and imprisoned demons with his antique camera. And when she accidentally destroys the scrapbook which is their prison, they escape and run riot all over the city. So Clara is forced to take up her grandfather’s supernatural mantle and hunt the demons before they come looking for her and her inherited camera.
Starring REAGAN DALE NEIS, JACK KLUGMAN, TIMM SHARP, DONNIE JEFFCOAT, EDIN GALI, PAUL HUNGERFORD, AZURE PARSONS.
Produced by Max Goldenson, Robert Kandle, Drew Daywalt, Bea Egeato, Sarah Evershed
Creature FX by Jeff Farley of Obscura Artifacts

Recently I was interviewed by Rick, the webmaster of Paradise of Horror for his Paradise Profiles section.
Paradise of Horror is your tropical gateway to horror and mayhem and I’m sure you will enjoy Rick’s in-depth articles as well as reading our interview.
Rick, stated the following in relation to our interview..
Today, I had the pleasure of talking to somebody that I met online and after checking out her website and her photography I was entranced into it. The noir-ish qualities of her photography capture my eye and I wanted to know more about her. Much like her, I too am attracted to that architecture and quietness of cemeteries so i knew we had something in common. Below is my ‘interview.’
Note: This was such a great interview and she told me some very powerful things and this was by far, one of the best interviews that I conducted and it was so hard for me to edit this interview.
I don’t know why, but I felt compelled to be totally open and honest when answering Rick’s questions. I hope you will enjoy the interview and feel free to comment or ask me or Rick anything you want.
