The surreal and grim photography by Christopher Ryan McKenney

Christopher Ryan McKenney is an american photographer who turns his photographies in images full of surrealism and darkness, where the reality is changed, but just enough to not be unrecognizable. McKenney makes his photos with low brightness and using cold colors, enhancing the terror atmposphere his images have.

Using as background almost always florests/woods, the artist creates beings without face or with faces hidden, a classic element of terror. With his sheets without bodies as ghosts, doors and windows that connect dimensions, people around fire and other bizarre elements, McKenney creates photos that have that feeling of lovecraftian thriller and/or terror, where sanity is just an illusion, where opening your eyes from a nightmare can reveal just more madness and you can be trapped in that dimension between awakening and bad dreams.
