The Dark Art of April A Taylor Photography (Press Release)

Internationally published and exhibited photographer April A Taylor has always leaned towards the dark & gritty with her work; exploring forgotten places, ghost towns & abandoned buildings. Now she has combined this style of photography with her life-long love affair with Halloween, horror and all of the things that go bump in the night. The Dark Art of April A Taylor Photography is a new line of images, many told through the usage of Illustrative Photography, which feature lots of blood, gas masks, frozen corpses, zombies & post-apocalyptic themes.

Selected prints from the line will be exhibited throughout the next couple of months at multiple places, including the following:

•Twisted & Talented: Halloween and Dark Art Exhibit at the Art on the Levee Gallery in Newport, KY, for the entire month of October 2010
