Photographer Dad Creates Horror Photos Together With His Daughters
James Gould-Bourn BoredPanda staff
There are many joys to being a parent, but none quite as much as being able to use your young daughters to recreate gruesome and surreal scenarios that look like the stuff of nightmares. Take a look at these pictures to see what we mean, but before you start worrying, rest assured that these kids are more than happy to feature in their dad’s creepy photography!
Based in Kansas City, Missouri, Hoffine has spent the past decade turning nightmares into reality. Using cameras, props, and a twisted sense of imagination, the photographer also uses his daughters as models in his macabre and menacing masterpieces. His most well-known series, called ‘After Dark My Sweet’, focuses on the sorts of nightmares we’ve all had as children, and if you’d like to own your own collection of his grisly images then you can find his book on Kickstarter. Buy it if you dare…

Joshua Hoffine is a photographer who likes spending time with his daughters
But as you can see, combining his work and his family leads to very interesting results!
He gets his daughters to pose for his nightmarish photoshoots
But even though they look terrified, the kids can’t get enough of it
“They loved it,” said Hoffine. “It was like a giant game of dress-up for them”
“They also knew we were making a scary picture — and loved the idea of scaring the audience as much as I did.”
For the rest of us however, Hoffine’s pictures are downright scary!
His most well-known series is called ‘After Dark My Sweet’
The series is themed around the nightmares we have as children
And as you can see from these pictures, they certainly are nightmarish!

There sure are a lot of perverts in these comments. Seriously, who looks at a little girl in underwear and starts thinking about sexual stuff? A pedo, that's who. You all should go see a therapist or something.
Damn, I didn't even see that we can see someone's underwear. As you said, some people are really perverts. -_-
I don't see the difference between underwear and a bikini. One is accepted. The other not. Which is stupid if you think about it logically

Lol im a woman, not a pedo nor a lesbian, and I could very well see the half-naked picture and found it slightly inappropriate :) let's be serious, it's quite obvious and disturbs you from the rest of whatever is going on there
No. No it doesn't. Maybe seeing a child in underwear disturbs you for some reason, but it does not disturb me in the slightest. My daughter ran around in her underwear until she was probably 4 years old, as did her brother. The only thing disturbing me here is how many people feel "uneasy" looking at something so innocent. I suppose you are also one of the same people who are freaking out about the picture of the father showering with his sick son to keep his fever down, yeah? It's such a strange thing to me when adults attach their own disgusting fears and stigmas to such innocent things... truly that is the most disturbing thing here.
there are women pedophiles too....
'Not a pedo nor a lesbian' As a lesbian i find this comparison quite inappropriate.. .-.
These are very disturbing...
I am a BIG horror fan and I think as long as these children knew it was all make up and like ' play acting', I can't really seem the harm. I think the ' monster under the stairs' and the one in the kids wardrobe are classic nightmares,for both adults and children and both are portrayed brilliantly. Horror is unsettling and disturbing but that's the nature of the subject.Given what's going on around the world today,a few models dressed as monsters and the devil are pretty tame!
