Foreboding Photography

This Matt Henry ‘The Happening' Portfolio Will Drive You Crazy

There is something foreboding about the Matt Henry ‘The Happening’ photo series. It evokes a sense of suspense and curiosity that will never be satisfied. If anything, that in itself is more frightening than what the subjects are actually looking at -- the unknown.

That said, I truly think that this may be one of my favorite photography concepts to date. It’s not only incredibly intriguing, but the Matt Henry ‘The Happening’ series is also extremely well executed. The lighting, the curious emotion, the characters and more are all tied flawlessly together by the photographer.
