Hauntingly Antique Portraits

Nocturnamal is a Stunning Depiction of Dark Mysterious Pictures

— July 21, 2013 — Art & Design
Every so often there is a piece of work that is nearly impossible to forget, and Nocturnamal is an amazing take on dark mysterious pictures.

Vizoli uses an unusual technique on her pictures; there is a definite antique feel, but the focus of the photos still seem modern. It is the cross between the old and new that adds an eerie feeling to the pictures. Also, the subjects of the photos are intrinsically strange. They appear to be some type of creature, all differing in degrees of strangeness, culminating at the end image with a devil-inspired creature. Even amongst all this dark mysterious pictures, there still appears to be an innocence to these creatures, and that is what makes this series so haunting. Vizoli proves that photography doesn't need to have a full human subject in order to form a connection with it.
Trend Themes
1. Antique-modern Fusion - The cross between old and new creates eerie atmosphere, providing opportunity for artists and photographers to explore this technique.
2. Strange and Mysterious Subject Matter - Intrinsically weird subjects in photography can provide unique and unforgettable experiences for viewers, opening up possibilities for artists to explore.
3. Non-human Subjects in Photography - Photography need not center around full human subjects to elicit an emotional effect on viewers, inspiring artists to push boundaries and experiment with different subject matter.
Industry Implications
1. Fine Arts and Photography - The fusion of antiquity and modernity in photography provides unique and memorable artistic experiences, giving photographers the opportunity to create and experiment.
2. Entertainment and Media - Dark and mysterious subject matter in visual entertainment products, such as films and games, could attract audiences seeking new experiences, giving media companies a chance to innovate.
3. Marketing and Advertising - Uncommon subject matter in advertising and marketing campaigns have the potential to surprise and resonate with audiences, allowing companies to differentiate themselves from competitors.
