Suspenseful Abandoned Prints

Kate Peters Takes Silently Still Pictures That are Sure to Mesmerize

— February 18, 2011 — Art & Design
Kate Peters is a talented photographer who takes some extremely chilling pictures. This series features abandoned and often rundown places that no one calls home any longer.

The pictures by Kate Peters look like could have come out of some creepy horror movie. Although spine-chilling, her photography sends an effective message that will definitely make its audience contemplate their surroundings.

Implications - This trend reflects North American society's fear of abandonment, but also invokes apocalyptic doom. In industries outside of art and design, brands can use the language of destruction in order to invoke fear and intrigue consumers at the same time. It is important to strike the delicate balance between fear and intrigue.

3. Fear and Intrigue Marketing - The trend of using fear and intrigue in marketing strategies allows brands in various industries to grab the attention of consumers by creating an unsettling yet intriguing narrative that sparks curiosity and engagement.
Industry Implications
1. Travel and Tourism - The travel and tourism industry can leverage the trend of exploring abandoned places to promote adventure tourism and unique travel experiences off the beaten path.
2. Film and Entertainment - The film and entertainment industry can capitalize on the trend of spine-chilling photography to create captivating movie posters, promotional materials, and immersive experiences that engage audiences with suspense and anticipation.
3. Fashion and Lifestyle - The fashion and lifestyle industry can integrate the fear and intrigue marketing trend to create edgy and evocative ad campaigns that resonate with consumers looking for unique and unconventional styles.
