Monochromatic Cemetery Captures

Photography by Gustavo Lopez Manas is Haunting

— November 13, 2011 — Fashion
The cemetery is an eerily peaceful resting place for those who have passed on, and not to mention a sightly place too, as shown by the intricately carved sculptures dotting the landscape and captured by Gustavo Lopez Manas. The Barcelona-based photographer decided to pay the Kensal Rise Cemetery (one of the oldest in London) a visit to photograph the landmark.

Captured in black and white, the Kensalrise Cemetery series of grainy, monochromatic pictures by Gustavo Lopez Manas features objects typical of any burial ground, such as crypts, mausoleums, headstones and angelic statues with paint peeling off their facade. One of the pictures was taken when it drizzled, as it shows a statue with water droplet dripping down from its face, as if it mourns for those who had passed away.
Trend Themes
1. Black-and-white Photography - Businesses can investigate how to incorporate nostalgic black-and-white photography into their marketing campaigns to appeal to consumers' sense of aesthetics and emotion.
2. Haunting Aesthetics - Businesses can explore creating products or services that evoke a haunting or spooky aesthetic, especially for those interested in the macabre or Gothic subcultures.
3. Grainy Imagery - Businesses can experiment with using grainy or vintage-style imagery to give their branding a unique look and feel, especially in industries where nostalgia and tradition are valued.
Industry Implications
1. Funeral Services - Businesses in the funeral industry can take inspiration from the haunting and peaceful imagery of the Kensal Rise Cemetery to create marketing campaigns that tap into consumers' emotional needs during a difficult time.
2. Tourism - The Kensal Rise Cemetery series of photographs may attract a niche type of tourist interested in visiting historic and macabre landmarks, creating potential opportunities for businesses in the tourism industry to market tours or souvenirs related to the cemetery.
3. Art Galleries - Art galleries can showcase haunting and nostalgic photographs, such as the Kensal Rise Cemetery series by Gustavo Lopez Manas, to appeal to art collectors and enthusiasts interested in the macabre or Gothic aesthetics.
