ideas / creating a different person

Danny Treacy 'Them' is a photographic series by Danny Treacy. He creates eerie suits out of abandoned clothing which he wears to become 'Them'. The styling of the clothing makes Treacy look as if he is an urban warrior or an mythical beast as he is faceless which adds an element of fear.
The dark background looks very threatening and and makes the model look very vulnerable as he is in the centre of it. The subject looks as if he is appearing out of the darkness and coming towards you because of how he is brightly lit in comparison to the background. By using clothing that has been abandoned or recovered adds a eerie feel to the image as Treacy wears the clothing that was once a strangers and becomes 'them'. The idea of using clothes that belonged to someone else really inspired me as it allows you to use your imagination on who they could have belonged to. I also like the intimate feeling the clothing creates in the image as the figures look familiar just because of the clothing they are wearing.
