Macabre Photography

Rancinan's Blood-Inspired Portraits

Rancinan is a well known photographer who perfectly captures the true artistic expressions of each subject he shoots. A great example is the photo showing the creative identity of Paul McCarthy--an artist known for smearing his body with paint, ketchup, raw meat, and even feces.

The list goes on from David Lynch, Franko B. to Marina Abramovic and Hermann Nitsch. Rancinnan is a photographic magician, mirroring dramatic performances of an artist onto his canvases. These series of photos are of a subconscious mind that is caught by his lens capturing visionary moment.

Rancinan says that his photographs are mere details, fragments of humanity. Check out the video to see a disturbing and bloody depiction of Paul McCarthy.
