How often, as children, we were afraid to stay at home alone, or sleep with the lights off, or go down to the basement of the house, because we were sure that evil and terrible monsters lived there. But with age, these fears disappear, and you already remember with a smile that you were scared to death sometime in your distant childhood.
American Joshua Hoffine's Childhood Fears photo project is a visualization of childhood nightmares and fears that are embodied in the production of a conceptual photographer from Kansas.
He takes ominous photographs seriously, shooting photographs like a short film, with sets, costumes, a workgroup, special effects and makeup. According to Joshua, each image presented is a staged photo shoot with actors and realistic scenery. The production crew of the Kansas-based photographer are members of his family, close friends and acquaintances who work for fun. Nobody gets paid for it. Everything is built on enthusiasm.
Joshua Hoffine assures that his photographs are not collages made in Photoshop. He resorts to using Photoshop solely in order to retouch details, adjust the color gamut and contrast of the picture.
The young American believes that human and especially childhood fears are associated with the inevitability and accident of death. The presence of fears lives in confrontation with uncertainty. Fear tells us that our confidence in safety is deceiving and a monster exists around us.
