10 scariest photo opportunities around the world: A Halloween blog post for Autographer

 

 

To celebrate the spookiest night of the year, in this blog post, published by Autographer, I bring you ten truly terrifying places to visit (and photograph) if you dare. Guaranteed to be scarier than any trick-or-treater that’ll come knocking this Halloween!

Isla de las Munecas (Island of the Dolls) lies just south of Mexico City and it’s genuinely more terrifying than any film set. Legend has it that the Island caretaker found a girl drowned in mysterious circumstances and nailed a doll he found to a tree, as a mark of respect. It’s said he became haunted by the girl’s spirit and hung more and more creepy dolls across the island in an attempt to please her. Severed limbs, decapitated heads and missing eyes galore.

It’s a scary world we live in – from ghost towns and a church decorated with human bones to walking the most dangerous road in the world and bungee jumping into a live volcano, it’s all going on in my blog post – read it here.

An ultimate list of human emotions captured in photographs

I enjoy looking at photographs as much as I enjoy taking them. I often find that the most beautiful images are often the ones capturing the strongest emotion. After all, human emotion is something we all experience every day of our lives. Here, in a blog post for Autographer, I bring you a selection of images that span from jumping for joy to despairing in humanity itself. Grab a cup of coffee and take a look at the images I’ve selected here – prepare to be moved.

Interview with with Peter Marlow: Prestigious Magnum photographer discusses photographing his own family

British photographer Peter Marlow has worked for Magnum for the past 30 years yet has an approach that is unchanged. Marlow started his career as an international photojournalist but returned to Britain and discovered a new visual poetry that enabled him to understand his homeland. Having found this poetry, he has taken it back on the road: he now photographs as much in Japan, the USA, and elsewhere in Europe as he does in the UK.

Despite these broad horizons and the array of sights Marlow has seen to capture, his own home life is something he is still intent on shooting. In this interview with Peter I find out more about capturing those intimate, family highs and lows…
