I never thought I would be creeped out by a burka, until I saw Lupe Bracaccini's 'E. Rigby.' It is a photoshoot that focuses on a woman and her mysterious burka-wearing buddy.

Lupe Bracaccini's talent lies in the fact that she doesn't use any scary set pieces or poses to make 'E. Rigby' so [creepy and unsettling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tales-of-the-weird). The [veiled and masked figure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take) following the woman through her house is creepy enough on its own.
