Nataliya Gosselin

The physiology of fear is very primal. Logic fails to work when we are afraid even of fictional things. With my camera I take a journey into deep animalistic parts of our souls and the irrational mind. I find it fascinating that gory imagery is less threatening than a suggestion of the unknown. With my dark night photographs I let the imagination take over reason.
