In this Giallo-inspired piece, I lit a candle, darkened the room, and put on my black gloves. I used my mom’s tripod to take the picture. I’ve always wanted to take a photo or make a drawing inspired by Giallo films. For those who don’t know, Giallo films are violent, erotic, Italian mystery and thriller films that were made from 1963 to the present day. These films mainly consist of a whodunit storyline, an unseen killer wearing black gloves, fedora, and trenchcoat, a sharp object used as the main murder weapon of the film, a high, bloody kill count, and some VERY serious subject matter. Giallo films were mainly inspired by Il Giallo Mondadori, West German Edgar Wallace and Bryan Edgar Wallace Krimi's mystery and thriller films(1959-1972), and Arne Mattsson's Hillman mystery thriller series (1958-1963).

I love how you gave us some backstory on your image! It really adds to the whole effect. The photo itself is very alluring. The subtleness of your gloves adds such a mysterious vibe. I also love how the candle has clearly been burning for a while. seeing as it's almost burnt out.Great image!! - Chloe C
