Human beings are capable of doing great acts of kindness for one another that can often lead them into creating beautiful works, but on the other side, they're also capable of dark thoughts that attribute to great works like the upcoming 'Bates Motel' series based on the life of Norman Bates.
These unhinged editorials all stem from the very dark reaches of the human psyche, and are sure to get you prepared for the release of the series. There's a distinct darkness to every morose shot, but that's exactly why these beautifully shot photos enchant you to keep looking. From lifeless saturated models to haunting forest editorials, visions such as these permeate the thoughts of most individuals.
