Car accidents are horrific events that one hopes never to happen to them, and through this collision photography, Nikolai Howalt captures the terrifying aftermath of a crash.
Pictures aim to evoke a sense of emotion out of those who are viewing the piece, and there is nothing more scare-inducing than the fear of a vicious car accident. Howalt is able to capture the feeling of terror so effectively because she gets right inside the vehicle in order to see if from the passengers perspective. Looking at this collection is incredibly tense and it is scary, especially when some of the pictures still have remnants of blood spatter on the steering wheel and windshield. Seeing collections such as this one is a constant reminder to value life and to not take things for granted.
