“Faith was Grace’s favourite friend – which was just as well as she was the only one left now.
Faith had said that she really, really liked being In too. But Grace knew she was just trying to be fair. Besides, Grace knew that no-one could be as quiet as she could. She knew this because in all the times she’d played Chasings no-one had ever found her. But it wasn’t much fun winning when you came out of hiding and everyone was gone. So Grace resigned herself to always being In.
But Grace had to admit that Faith was very, very good. She could be almost as silent as Grace herself….almost.”

Here the light plays a larger role than in the previous shot…...the “eeriness” of the figure on the left is astounding…..and you can certainly see the gaze and anticipation of the woman on the right – this is excellent work Geoff!

Thanks again Julian – the girls were just so good to work with and it was fun getting a different take on the orton effect.
Julian Escardo
Your technique Geoff…..I am always amazed, truly.
Adriana Glackin
What a series Geoff – the images are chilling enough, and now with your story – I may never sleep with the light off again! Well done, you’ve done a great job on this series! Beautifully scarey!! : )
Geoff Coleman... replied
Thanks heaps Adriana for your lovely comments – very much appreciated.
Marguerite Foxon
You blow me away with what you come up with and shoot, write about, atmosphere you create, etc etc etc!! This series is incredible in every way!
Geoff Coleman... replied
What a lovely comment – thanks so much Marguerite.
Michael Bainbr...
Brilliant series of shots Geoff. Very chilling.
Geoff Coleman... replied
Thanks Michael – glad you were chilled.
Michael Walters
Wow Geoff this is awesome, such a perfect and id imagine very difficult capture, i shoot bands sometimes and i know capturing the right expression just before the light changes and getting the exposure can be difficult. So bravo to you for getting such a perfect capture! Makes me want to see this too!
Geoff Coleman... replied
Thanks for your lovely comment Michael – yeah this sort of photography is way more difficult than landscape but as you’re creating it from scratch it’s also more satisfying in many ways.
Michael Walters
I agree, i really love some of the shots i’ve got doing this kind of work, is very satisfying..
