\x0aThis place reminded me of The Elder Scrolls. I felt like I was in the game… the stage with the well, where you first learn to shoot your arrow: reference photo here

\x0a\x0a\x0aTwitter has announced that they will be going after these individuals and deem their accounts spam. These individuals game the system by using scripts, software that follow thousands of people a day and unfollow anyone who doesn’t follow them back. It’s a grey-technique called churning followers. So that dude who’s a Realtor from Florida? The dude who has 3 videos on YouTube and calls himself an “SEO maven”? That 64 yr old grandma from Utah who says she’s a social media expert because she has 30 thousand followers?
\x0aAll done by software.

This has been going on for years on YouTube as well…people who scrape accounts, have refreshers… the list goes on.

\x0a \x0a \x0a Joshua Hoffine - Horror Photography
\x0aProcess
I stage my photo shoots like small movies, with sets, costumes, elaborate props, fog machines, and special effects make-up. I use hotlights rather than strobes because they give me better fog effects as well as a warming color shift. My images are not photoshop collages. I use photoshop to finesse details and to adjust color and contrast for printing. I use friends and family members as actors and crew. Everyone works for free. We do it for fun.
Statement
I love old Disney cartoons. I like the hyper-realism of animation, and the overblown production values of big Hollywood movies. I want my images to be pretty so that you’ll look at them longer. I am interested in the science of fairy tales. I want to reinvent archetypes. I embrace the Jungian power of a cliche. I think of my photographs as pieces of candy.
I believe that the horror story is ultimately concerned with the imminence and randomness of death, and the implication that there is no certainty to existence. The experience of horror resides in this confrontation with uncertainty. Horror tells us that our belief in security is delusional, and that the monsters are all around us.
