EDITORS COMMENTS
Petri Damstén's 'Skeleton in the Closet' is a hauntingly surreal self-portrait that invites us to ponder the hidden depths of the human psyche. Taken in the Puijonlaakso area of Pohjois Savo, Finland, with a Nikon D800 and a Nikkor 24-70mm f2 lens, this dark and enigmatic image was created in KKS Studio using a combination of digital manipulation, Elinchrom lighting, and a Camranger wireless trigger. The skeleton, dressed in a top hat and holding a bottle of alcohol, lies on a worn-out sofa in a dimly lit room. The room's ambiance is further enhanced by the Venetian blinds, casting intriguing shadows on the walls. The skeleton's masked face, adorned with a beak, adds an element of mystery and intrigue. The low-key lighting and the use of a mask and a top hat create a gothic and macabre atmosphere, reminiscent of a surrealist thriller or a spooky Halloween scene. The skeleton's presence in the room could symbolize the inner demons that haunt us, the deep-seated fears and insecurities that we try to hide from the world. The image's title, 'Skeleton in the Closet,' alludes to the idea of a hidden truth or a secret that is better left undiscovered. The skeleton's presence in the room could also represent the need for self-reflection and therapy, as the skeleton appears to be holding a certificate or a diploma, suggesting a treatment or a course of therapy. The image's composition and editing are masterful, with the skeleton's body positioned diagonally in the frame, drawing the viewer's eye towards it. The use of a composite or a montage technique adds to the image's surreal and dreamlike quality, making it a true work of art that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
