Fans of Amanda Norman Gothic and Horror Photography
A couple of weeks ago I asked you to help me make my new promotional video that would feature some of your favourite photographs and quotes about my Gothic and horror photography.
I also stated that Luke would choose an entry to win the digital version of the image chosen and the winner has been chosen.
Congratulations to Brandi Jackola of InsideoutCast!
Luke chose Brandi’s choice because the photograph of ‘Graveyard Light’ is one of his favourites. He also liked Brandi’s choice of words and lastly, he enjoyed playing with the effects on this particular photograph for the video.
A big thank you to Tony Longworth for allowing me to use his haunting music titled ‘As Shadows Fall’ that makes this video so special.
Finally, a personal thank you goes out to all of the fans who sent me their feedback and choice of favourite photograph. A lot of my fans are on Twitter and I encourage you to follow them and visit their personal websites, which I’ve listed below.

Gargoyles and Grotesques
I love to take photographs of gargoyles and grotesques, but do you know what the difference is between a gargoyle and a grotesque?
Gargoyles are designed with the specific function of spouting water away from a building. Usually a hole is cut into the back of it and the water pours off the roof, into the hole and out through the gargoyle’s mouth, hence why they are usually elongated in shape. Some, if not elongated will have a spout.
Grotesques are purely designed as ornamental decoration and will not funnel water away from the building. They are said to protect the building from evil and warn off evil spirits.
Below are two of my latest photographs of grotesques.
