Haunted House
Would you shoot in a haunted house? If yes, what would you concentrate on? (fashion, fine art, nude, etc.) Mar 18 06 07:30 pm Link Artistic nude. Love the look of old houses. BW works best for me. bs Mar 18 06 07:32 pm Link Some really strange fashion to match the surroundings.. Maybe do something sci fi but not too cheesy with green lights. I guess it depends on the interior of the building. Mar 18 06 07:35 pm Link The house is actually occupied. My concern is, I don't want to be disrespectfull.

I felt horrible about it but my model really wanted to so I did it anyway.. she got bit up by mosquitos SO badly that we had to leave after maybe two shots. Mar 18 06 07:47 pm Link I would just avoid it. Mar 18 06 08:17 pm Link Well I shot in an abandoned mental hospital. The doors slammed by themselelves so i'd say it was scary but I dont care as long as the images are great.... and they were  Mar 18 06 08:48 pm Link I think it depends on how the living residents feel, because if something bad happens, they have to live with it...or will end up moving. Are you wanting to get a chance to possibly catch a ghost on camera? Or, are you just wanting to shoot there for the ambiance? Being one who has actually lived in a haunted house before, I know that if the sprit doesn't like what you are doing, it will make that very fact known. I've seen doors slam on their own, lights go on and off (though no electrical problem was apparent), among other strange occurrences. What made my family finally sell the house and move, was when my brother walked into the living room and saw (and heard) our electric organ playing by itself...and the organ was unplugged and turned off. So, just keep respect for the dead. Even ask first if it will be okay to shoot there...and I don't mean asking the living residents. I know it sounds kooky, but it's more of a respect thing, and if there is some force that doesn't want you to shoot there, then you will find out all too soon. Mar 18 06 10:06 pm Link You should take a trip down to Toledo and do a shoot at the Collingwood Arts Center some time if you are into haunted places. Mar 18 06 10:09 pm Link Model Sarah wrote: Wow, now thats scary! Mar 18 06 10:11 pm Link Already have, my Vampire series. It was an actual haunted house that used to be used as a fun haunted house as well. Want ghost stories...heh heh heh, ask Dan Hood! I would not shoot in a graveyard out of respect for the living, but I have no problem with haunted house myself. Mar 18 06 11:03 pm Link BeccaNDSouth wrote: What song did it play? Mar 18 06 11:21 pm Link My last apartment in Brooklyn Heights was haunted - ask the models! My lights kept crashing down on them.  It hasn't happened since I moved to a different place.Mar 18 06 11:32 pm Link Jay Hammye wrote: I did shoot there.... Mar 18 06 11:56 pm Link D. M. Gremlin wrote: LOL..that, I couldn't tell ya. He didn't recognize it as a song...just keys playing. I honestly don't think he stayed in the house long enough to find out what song it was, anyhow...I know I wouldn't! That house always creeped me out. I could always feel a bad presence in what was my parents' room and in the bathroom. We found out that the house used to be in the country, and was moved to it's current location about 60 years ago. The house is over 100 years old, and should be torn down, it's do decrepid now. It would make for some really interesting photos, though...especially if you took them in the attic, which is set up with different rooms, instead of one big area. The cellar by the house is creepy as well...reminds me of what you see in shows about voodoo. Mar 19 06 09:04 pm Link I'd love to shoot the material I usually do in a haunted house... it's a perfect setting for it.  Mar 19 06 09:13 pm Link If the money is good I wouldn't care if it was haunted. I'm thinking possibly something dark & Gothic, or maybe something else, and if I see a ghost just wave & say "hi!" lol j/k. Mar 20 06 03:36 am Link I would MOST DEFINATELY shoot in a haunted house. Wouldn't bother me. I'd focus on posing for one. Hmm, I suppose I would also want it to be more focused on fashion and portraits than anything else.Mar 20 06 03:52 am Link Matthew918 wrote: Easy to say, sir, but I think the reality might be different. Mar 20 06 03:56 am Link Really? 1287 , hmm.Well I have dealt with ghosts before so I'm not scared I've played hide & seek in a cemetery on Halloween and I've even spent the night in a "haunted" house for some money, I dunno, maybe nothing seems to scare me anymore, but I would definetly shoot in a haunted house , not even a ghost can seperate me from a job (a paycheck). Mar 20 06 04:20 am Link In 1287 the town where I live was on the coast, and a huge storm flooded the harbour and changed the course of the river. Huge amounts of mud and silt were deposited in the town, and, rather than dig it all out, the people just started building on top of it. The church is about five feet below the road level, but it varies in other parts of the town. My house was two steps down. Houses built after 1287 were put up at the new ground level, so it's an easy way to tell how old a house is. The house had been remodelled a number of times, but most of it was original. There was a ghost cat which used to jump down off the fridge, but disappeared before it got to the floor, a dark shape on the stairs, someone who threw the bedding around if I didn't make my bed, and lots of other stuff. I never felt threatened, but I was never alone... Mar 20 06 05:09 am Link Model Sarah wrote: Which one? Mar 20 06 05:36 am Link Matthew918 wrote: If you get a chance, take a trip down to Canute. It's right on Route 66, and you will find one haunted house, atleast. I know there are others who have been said to be haunted. Talk to the person who owns the house on 1st Street one block south of Route 66, and they might actually let you look around (if the house is still standing). I'm not sure if anyone who has lived in the house since my family has had any haunts, but it's still a creepy place to be. Oklahoma is known for having quite a few haunted areas, though. Mar 20 06 10:33 am Link There is NO such thing as a haunted house... It has NOT been scientifically proven! Come one people! Mar 20 06 10:43 am Link Thanks for all your comments. for those who care - I did talk to the owner and he's completely up for it. According to him, the ghosts occupying the house are very pleasant so I shouldn't worry about anything. Although, he did mention that some kookey stuff has happened in the past, mainly lights going on and off, and the occasional sounds of people clinging their glasses and such. Nothing to really worry about I suppose. I'm fine with doing a shoot there, I'm just worry about the model, that's all. Then again, if she's willing to do a shoot in there, then why not, right? Anyways, thanks again for everyone's input. Later Mar 20 06 10:54 am Link Route 66 runs str8 through Tulsa, I know a street a few blocks from home, lol .I'll check out the house & see whats up. I enjoy a challenge Mar 20 06 11:07 am Link WZ Studio wrote: Absolutely! Mar 20 06 11:31 am Link |
