# Murderous Photography Justin Monroe Goes for the Kill with ‘Preference' By mediterranean | Published 2009-01-20 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justin-monroe-preference References: [homotography.blogspot](http://homotography.blogspot.com/2009/01/justin-monroes-preference-is-murder.html) & [justinmonroe](http://www.justinmonroe.com/) After sharing his sinister fantasies with a trip [‘Down the Rabbit Hole,’](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justin-monroe-down-the-rabbit-hole-janice-dickinson) we bring you an equally twisted albeit darker photography project by Justin Monroe. The images in ‘Preference’ look like stills from a [slasher suspense movie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-studios-halloween-horror-nights), from the [killer hiding in the closet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyes-never-wake) awaiting your return home and a [hostage bound to the chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edgeofyr) to the killer attacking the victim with a knife. The shoot culminates with bloody bathtub scenes. Monroe does not spare on the reality or rawness of the scenarios, making for an intense visual experience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Dark Photography:** Opportunities to disrupt photography with darker themes and visual experiences. - **Sinister Imagery:** Innovative use of suspense movie-like visuals for advertising and marketing campaigns. - **Realistic Horror:** Opportunities to create hyper-realistic horror experiences using immersive technologies. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** Innovative use of photography to capture dark and twisted themes for art and media purposes. - **Horror Entertainment:** Opportunities to create real-life horror experiences such as escape rooms or interactive horror games. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Innovative use of sinister imagery for shock value in order to capture audience attention. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Distorted Burger Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ailloween.md) - [Horror-Themed Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-stays-club.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Dramatic Doomsday Bunker Images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alastair-philip-wiper.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Flesh Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito.md) - [Horror Film-Inspired Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/death-for-dinner-cookbook.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Horror Film Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scent-of-a-nightmare.md) - [Limited-Edition True Crime Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serial-killer-shop.md)
