The 'My Dark Little Room' series is another addition to August Bradley's delightful but dark [Hasselblad Masters Book](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche). Involving lone characters in what seems like an [abandoned house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/addams-family-lego), 'My Dark Little Room' invokes a sense of sadness and mysticism.

Regardless, the photography and editing are impeccably executed in the series. Although the tone may be dark, the colors in the photos are definitely vivid. The combination of August Bradley's great concept, inept skill and the emotionally-charged expressions on the model's faces makes for a riveting series of prints.
