Description Everything photographed and edited by me, no stock.

Friday the 13th is a very famous calendar slot in occidental cultures. The number 13 itself seems to be considered as a symbol of both luck and bad luck, depending on the superstition. Then, "Friday the 13th" is also an horror flick. As a result, I decided to mix these various concepts into one picture, mainly for fun.

This is how I imagined a four-leaf clover found by a lucky man, who is probably going to realize very soon that he is not that lucky, since he's just arrived next to a serial killer burying his victims in a strange way... The most challenging part was to shoot the actual victims: it was not possible to simply stand still in front of the camera and mirror the photo vertically, because the legs and feet positions would have been all wrong. So I had to take these photos lying on the ground, with the camera shooting from above, which can be difficult when you are alone at home: start the camera timer, run downstairs half-naked, tie your feet and hands, then crawl on the floor into the good position... fun stuff!

This is interesting. I think of the clover as being a lure - the way that fish in the deep lures other fish with its light.

this is spooky and hilarious! This reminds me of the show Hannibal (not sure if they air it in France). Their murder scenes are pretty much artistic tableaus with layered themes, like your's. 

I like how varied the victim's poses are, and that you just didn't cut n' paste. Great job!

hahaha You should have called me, and I would have fired the shots!  
Really good as ever. I like whole set of details (as the 13 victims indeed).
It seems that each work is better than one before (is this 'cos I'm a fan?).
