Murderous Photography

Justin Monroe Goes for the Kill with ‘Preference'

After sharing his sinister fantasies with a trip ‘Down the Rabbit Hole,’ we bring you an equally twisted albeit darker photography project by Justin Monroe.

The images in ‘Preference’ look like stills from a slasher suspense movie, from the killer hiding in the closet awaiting your return home and a hostage bound to the chair to the killer attacking the victim with a knife. The shoot culminates with bloody bathtub scenes.

Monroe does not spare on the reality or rawness of the scenarios, making for an intense visual experience.
