The Marked Hunter
Art Direction | Set Design | Prop Fabrication | Photography
A metaphorical portrait exploring the role reversal of trophy hunting, where the deer becomes the hunter, and the human becomes the trophy. Constructed without digital manipulation, the image uses a hand-built mount, staged set, and practical effects—including a laser pointer to mimic a gun sight—to create a haunting, immersive scene. Photographed at night, the piece relies on symbolism and atmosphere to provoke empathy and challenge the violence and pride embedded in trophy hunting.
