I am a HUGE Halloween enthusiast and long-time Walking Dead fan. Two years ago I had my first Halloween Mini Session and one client had her children come as zombies and the rest is history.
I know MY zombies aren't necessarily a classic zombie, but if zombies were to exist - who's to say HOW they would look shortly after being turned? I love the glowing eyes that I do because it adds a "beautiful allure" factor to something potentially very deadly. I use a make-up artist for every "zombie" to do a base undead makeup and then I edit the snot out of each image individually. Each one of these images takes anywhere from 15-30 minutes to hand edit depending on the make-up and what I want to achieve.
This type of photography may be considered a bit taboo by many people, but for those who enjoy a little bit of darkness in their lives - this is awesome, one of a kind experience.

In my opinion this is the best picture of them all (not sure why but I find her posture very eerie and disturbing).
Thank you! She's amazing at what she does!!
Load More Replies...Not to be rude or anything but.......I love this one the most out of all of them!
One of my favorite ways i've ever seen the talents of a ballerina be used in a photograph :oD
Do you use contacts for the eyes, or do you use computer software to make it look like that? Because the eyes are stunning! I like the eyes and the makeup, good job on this! :3
It's all done by hand in photoshop ;)
Load More Replies...Awesome, that's what we worked towards.
Load More Replies...Wow, even mermaids can become zombies. A totally new take to be taken with The Little Mermaid remake.
Thanks, between the base make up and tons of computer work this one became one of my top faves! ❤️
Load More Replies...Mom gets the kiddos in that one!
Load More Replies...This is more heartbreaking than creepy. If I saw this zombie, I'd run over and hug her more likely
…and then she'd eat your face off, so she wins both ways ;-)
Load More Replies...It was really there, it's the Cement Ship in Aptos, CA. Truth be told I absolutely hate doing background replacements. LoL! I will be posting a before editing and after editing comparison of this image on my Facebook and IG next Saturday if you are curious. ;)
Load More Replies...That's what I got when I did this one
Load More Replies...When I first saw this picture pop up, I thought that child had been abused. I'm a huge fan of everything zombie, but this one makes me sad
I do try to get some kind of emotional response out of my audience, but I assure you that I had no intentions of this image triggering that type of response. I only viewed this image from the innocence perspective, like if you seen him you would want to help him and become lunch. This is my first time posting to BoredPanda so I'm still not sure how this became the cover image or if there's a way to remove this one, I'm still awaiting a response back. It's a bummer because I do love the background and his eyes :(
Load More Replies...This one wasn’t originally taken to be a zombie so there was no base make up, it’s all computer editing. Good catch 👍 I still loved it too much to not include it
Load More Replies...His mom made it! She's ah-mazing!
Load More Replies...No contacts, all photoshop
Load More Replies...Thank you! At first glance it's easy to pass up as a regular silhouette. Lol
Load More Replies...I agree. I could totally see her do this in a video.
Load More Replies...You mean "where are the dalmations?" not "We are the dalmations?" It does look like Cruella!
Load More Replies...Great use of photo shop. The lightening of the skin, use of brushes and brightening of the eyes enhances them just right to create the ghoulish feel and look.
Thank you! I love me some photoshop!
Load More Replies...Awesome!!! Hope you don't mind I saved some for my wallpaper. 😎
They definitely does. I am sure they had a great time while shooting.
Thanks!!! I think kids increase the creepy factor. Lol
Load More Replies...Yeah, great idea, overall but not on to put a kid's bleeding face as a call-card. I got severely triggered for childhood abuse there, for those couple of seconds it took me to stop shaking and actually read the damn writing underneath. I'm sorry to spoil this, cause it's a great idea, as I said before, but.

I only viewed this image from the innocence perspective, like if you seen him you would want to help him and unknowingly become lunch. This is my first time posting to BoredPanda so I'm still not sure how that image out of all of them became the cover image - it wasn't the first image uploaded so I'm baffled. I'm still awaiting a response back from Panda if I can remove it or at least change the intro image. It's a bummer that it has such a negative effect because I do love the background and his eyes :(
