Hitchcock...

Recently I have studied Hitchcock films due to my interest in visual narrative. In particular his films which incorporate suspense.
"Suspense films... full information before you start" A. Hitchcock

Suspence: The feeling of uncertainty and anxiety about the outcome of certain actions
The condition of being physically suspended
The state of being undecided, uncertain, or doubtful
Pleasurable excitement and anticipation regarding outcome

In my staged photography I must create tempo in static form. Scenes must remain ambiguous yet i should give the viewer clues to give them information, yet deny them knowledge.


These are some of my favourite stills from the classic Hitchcock film 'Psycho'
