Scary Shrouded Shoots

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Silent Shout' by Sara Berntsen is a Photographic Horror Story

— October 11, 2009 — Art & Design
If you're the sort of person who can't handle horror movies, 'Silent Shout' by Sara Berntsen might give you nightmares. The photographer hasn't articulated a particular storyline for the shoot, but all I need to get my knees knocking together is to see the shrouded female figure holding a giant skeleton key. Put her in a skiff on a lake and add some cryptic black balloons, and I'll sleep with the light on, thank you very much.

Check out more images from 'Silent Shout' by Sara Berntsen in the gallery above, and see past frightening photography and scarytales from Trend Hunter's archives below.
