Purgatory Swamp

Been wanting to get a big photoshoot done before I started to repurpose my corpses from Halloween 2025.  This past weekend a friend and I headed into a marsh with seven bodies, seven posts, and a lot of smoke bombs.  It was muddy and wet, and a load of fun.  

As we were going through the photos we took and watching the video at the link below, my friend said the first word that popped into her head was 'Purgatory.'  And I think that fits perfectly.  An in-between place that's silent and still.  Where danger isn't necessarily imminent, but where safety and comfort are most likely miles and miles away.

Limbo or purgatory are indeed the words that come to mind.

This photoshoot turned out so incredibly well.
A place for all the damned souls.
A masterpiece.

Amazing as always, the 2025 corpses were really elevated, definitely one of my favorite shoots of yours, and the colors are beautiful

Amazing shots! Do you have any recommendations for a base skeleton? I’ve used a medical/anatomical skeleton in the past but find them too heavy and expensive…but I like their realism more than the cheap pose-and-stay kind.

Most of these are the cheap poor quality plastic skeletons sold everywhere during the Halloween season. I cut them apart and lower the shoulders and extend the spines. I throw out the heads and use old resin ones that I found years ago. I alter the hands and feet as well.
