# Hip Horror-Infused Shoots Carlos and Jason Sanchez Meticulously Photograph Macabre Scenes By Josh Triantafilou | Published 2012-04-25 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carlos-and-jason-sanchez References: [beautifuldecay](http://beautifuldecay.com/2012/04/23/carlos-and-jason-sanchezs-cinematic-photographs/) & [thesanchezbrothers](http://www.thesanchezbrothers.com/) Canadian brothers and photographers Carlos and Jason Sanchez recently shot a series of [horror film-inspired photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scary-good-campaign) that put a new edge on [cinematic photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color). This type of photography often requires much staging and preparation. First, each scene must be thought out, then the props, settings and models must be acquired. Finally everything must be put together in such a way that, like a jig-saw puzzle, each piece fits with the others. In some ways it is more difficult than filming. When every shot is still, the viewer is given free reign to nitpick over errors and blemishes that might be missed in film. The shadow of the photographer creeping into a set could ruin the whole illusion of the scene, for instance. Perfectionism, then, is a valued quality in this field -- a trait these photographers demonstrate well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Horror-inspired Photography:** Explore the rise of horror film-inspired photography that brings a new edge to cinematic imagery. - **Meticulous Staging and Preparation:** Discover the trend of meticulously thought-out scenes, props, settings, and models in the world of cinematic photography. - **Perfectionism in Still Imagery:** Learn how perfectionism plays a crucial role in the world of still photography, where every detail is scrutinized by the viewer. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** The photography industry can embrace the trend of horror-inspired shoots to offer unique and captivating experiences for clients. - **Film and Television:** The film and television industry can benefit from the meticulous staging and preparation techniques used in horror-inspired shoots to enhance cinematic storytelling. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can draw inspiration from the perfectionism displayed in horror-infused shoots to create visually striking and thought-provoking works of art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Journalist-Focused Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shooting.md) - [Imperfect Photography Celebrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Multi-Lens Capture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-walker-multi-cam.md) - [Horror-Themed Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-stays-club.md) - [Revived Modular Photo Booths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frames-booth.md) - [Shadow-Mimicking Photography Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shadow-boards.md) - [Witty Toy-Brand Horror Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-poster.md)
