Fortnightly Picture Project - #2 Hunger

For this weeks project the theme was hunger, i didn't want to do something obvious.. so i decided to go down the route of horror, drawing inspiration from classic Japanese horrors such as Ju-On (The Grudge) and Ringu. Specifically Japanese horror because of the cliche of the girl with the long black hair crawling across the floor, and in the case of Ringu.. out of your TV, with alot of emphasis on thier bony broken hands. I also wanted it to relate to the childhood fear of monsters in your closet/under your bed. At first i was going to shoot this with the arms coming out from under a bed.. but then realised that all the beds in my house are too low down, so i had to try and make it work by doing it from the wardrobe. I got the whole idea to do horror because one of the first ideas i was going to do was a zombie.. hungry for your brains, but i thought that might be a bit too over the top, since i prefer very subtle horror.. i prefer 'creepy' to 'gory'. I think that with these images it's quite hard to tell how it relates to the theme.. but i didn't want the obvious as i said. Just see it as.. if its crawling towards you.. in a very claw-ey manner, its hungry for something, probably you. ;D

Image from Ju-On.

This video also shows what i mean, if you havent seen Ju-On.

Here are my images:

This is the image i chose for my final image, i chose this image because i think it's the strongest. i turned it black and white because i think it looks alot more effective.

This is the alternative image, i think this one gets the idea across more obviously but the other is more technically sound, as i think this image is slightly out of focus.
