I'm looking into doing some dark photo shoots, and I was wondering if anyone has concept ideas?
I already have the dark fawn/demon planned out, and Wednesday Adams in the graveyard as well.
I like gore, alternative things, anything horror, and dark conceptional things.
Any ideas would be highly appreciated!
(if I use your idea I might even comment on a bunch of your photos in return for a thank you heheh)

Why don't you try google? I usually get inspiration from there or pinterest, IG, Deviant Art, all of the internets, books, games, music, clothes, outdoors, trees. I try to get ideas from everywhere. It is usually best to come up with your own ideas, or with the photographer you plan on shooting with.

Stabbing your baby doll. And enjoying it. Get the body language and facial expression right and it will be fantastically disturbing.

I am a photography that likes to do photography in the way of roleplay. by this i mean setting the camera to time lapse and then act out a scenario. I like the idea of the playing dead horror shots. Its kind of like necro and foot fetish built into 1 picture. Soem of you may free out by now having read the words "necro" and "foot fetish". However looking at sited such as Darkfetishnet and Deviantart, there is a market for it. Now i don't mean foot fetish by sucking an dliking toes, but the fact that all my models play dead in their bare feet. this is because 1, it ads that little fetish element, 2, gives wonders as to why the models was barefoot when she died, and 3 i personally think it looks much better. Below are 3 links to my google drive folders. some of the work is my own, but some are other peoples photos taken from DFN and Deviantart. Folder 1 is of teh models playing dead clothed, but barefoot. Folder 2 is of the models playing dead nude and the 3rd folder is of mock morgue setups. have a look and tell me what you think. any female models that think that they want to try or want more information, please get in contact with me an did be more than happy to explain more on the topic.

I've always wanted to do a sheep in wolf's clothing idea where I'm in like a white outfit with some fluff (sheep inspired) with like a fake wolf-skin cloak and looking all "come here, I'm harmless, I swear."

We almost beheaded a perfectly good Teddy Bear for My last shoot but decided not to at the last minute. I think with the right location, MU and light anything can become 'dark'.

Check out some of the late Bob Carlos Clarke's work particularly from his book " The Dark Summer"

Films can be very inspiring as well
