'Evil man'

This dark, painting-looking image is a photograph. Believe it or not, I did not photograph a painting. It is a three-dimensional wax doll, treated in such a way so it reminds of old Rembrandt oil paintings.

The background is barely visible but it's still there. The predominantly dark areas sketch the mood and gloomy atmosphere. The deliberately diminished focus adds a soft tension which also pushes forward the idea of looking at a painting. If it was fully sharp, of course, that the illusion would disappear. Using such tools is the difference between art and casual photograph.

It actually freaks me out. The fear is leaping out of this anything-but gentleman proving the idea works quite well. :D

Enjoy! :)
