Christopher mckenney surrealist horror film wikipedia

Christopher McKenney, from Pennsylvania, specialises in surreal photography, looking more into the horror genre.

Unlike many surreal photographers who create beautiful and dreamy surreal images, Christopher McKenney takes dreamy surrealism and puts his own dark, horror twist .

The figures he photographs are mostly faceless, hey tend to interact with a deserted environment. His photos are mostly desaturated and they are shot in settings that contain: wood, corn fields, lakes and back country roads. Showing the empty, alone and deserted environments that they can be. His photographs can contain surrealism that shows self made ghosts, men on fire and many more situations that he can think of.

They are rather powerful at first and glance and connotating your own meaning or a meaning makes it stand out more. The photographs Christopher McKenney creates are really intriguing.

Christopher McKenney is a conceptual photographer from Pennsylvania who specialises in horror and surreal photography.

I find that the background settings he uses, they contrast and compliment the image he is capturing. I really like how this photograph creates almost a sense of another dimension. The floating figure could be visiting the man. The red figure really compliments the blue sky behind them, bringing the audience to look at him potentially first.

Whilst the man kneels, he could be showing weakness, not showing any defence. He is also dressed in black, allowing most of the attention to be diverted to the other figure. The red figure also draws attention as the artist likes to hide all identity. In this case only theirs, allowing us to wonder what the mans there for. The two photos above are simply creative.
