Freaky Plastic Wrap Portraits

'Verganglichkeiten' by Ruadh DeLone is Frightfully Creepy

'Verganglichkeiten' by Ruadh DeLone is the sort of photo shoot that keeps me awake at night. These plastic wrap portraits are slightly sinister in that the subject appears to be attempting asphyxiation, but they're beautifully done nevertheless. These highly stylized images would be equally jarring in oil painting form.

Asphyxiation might not be your thing, but if you're looking for a good scare this Monday morning, 'Verganglichkeiten' by Ruadh DeLone is a great place to start.
