Joshua Hoffine is one of my favourite photographers without a doubt. He is one of the only quite popular horror photographers that is out there at the moment and he seems to do quite well for himself. This image is my favourite image I have found in photography yet simply because it tells a story. The image depicts a women called Lady Bathory who existed in the 16th century as a Dutch countess. It is deemed that she was a very powerful women who would bathe in the bloods of virgins to retain her youth. She has been named one of the most prolific women killers in history. Even though the image is very gory and probably would upset some people, you have to take into consideration how much effort has gone into the process of making this image a reality. Obviously Hoffine didn't cut a girls throat for the picture so you can imagine how hard it was to edit this. In his blog he describes how he created this image which I found really interesting so check it out:
