Not so lucky after all
Everything photographed and edited by me, no stock.
Friday the 13th is a very famous calendar slot in occidental cultures. The number 13 itself seems to be considered as a symbol of both luck and bad luck, depending on the superstition. Then, "Friday the 13th" is also an horror flick. As a result, I decided to mix these various concepts into one picture, mainly for fun.
This is how I imagined a four-leaf clover found by a lucky man, who is probably going to realize very soon that he is not that lucky, since he's just arrived next to a serial killer burying his victims in a strange way... The most challenging part was to shoot the actual victims: it was not possible to simply stand still in front of the camera and mirror the photo vertically, because the legs and feet positions would have been all wrong. So I had to take these photos lying on the ground, with the camera shooting from above, which can be difficult when you are alone at home: start the camera timer, run downstairs half-naked, tie your feet and hands, then crawl on the floor into the good position... fun stuff!
