Will Govus: Eerie Nightscapes




Not everyone likes to be creeped-out. But I kinda do. Horror Films. Haunted Houses. Ghost-hunting reality shows. I love it all. So, it's no wonder that I'm fond of photographer Will Govus's eerie, suburban nightscapes. He captures artificial light, mist, and shadow in such a foreboding way that you expect Freddy, Jason, or Michael to pop out...

I also think I relate to his images, because I grew up in the suburbs -- and it is rather scary, natch! If you like having a case of the creeps as much as me, check out more of Govus' work here.
