I remember when I discovered the aperture setting on both my point-and-shoot and SLR cameras, taking photos similar to (but not half as good) these Laurent Nivalle photos was always a fun undertaking.
Yet Laurent Nivalle displays an eerie talent for this ghostly effect. Playing with different tones (I wish I could tell whether it was doctored or not) and skillfully directed models, these shots are pretty intense.
