With this image I concentrated on blending the figure into the background so it looks like it's emerging from nowhere. With this concept in mind I took the picture just in front of a gate leading to an open space which at the time was totally dark. Following up on the paranormal theme I made the figure hunched over so it was almost intimidating the camera, looking like it was trying to apporach it. This was a play on the general consensus that ghosts are malicious beings (with the exception of Casper the Friendly Ghost). I also used an infrared filter to create a stark contrast between the back ground and the foreground of the image so it seems as though the figure is avoiding having to step into the light whilst retaining it's poise.
