Think of that horrible image that makes the hairs at the back of your neck stand up. You may have seen it for the first time in childhood, but it has stayed with you all these years. That image that makes you sleep with the light on was created using specific lighting. Effective lighting is essential to creating a truly terrifying photo, and it may be as simple as lighting a candle or waiting for dusk.

Research horror images from film and photography. You have different options for lighting, and it is important to develop a layout before purchasing expensive equipment you may not need. Natural lighting may be used effectively or using just one light source can create a horrifying image. You may want to add color; a greenish or reddish cast to the photo may add an intensity to the shot.
2Choose the strongest option. Horror photography has intensity. The lighting may be simple, but it is specific. One Fresnel light positioned on the floor and pointing toward a model's face can create frightening dramatic shadows, the same effect used when someone holds a flashlight underneath her chin while telling a ghost story. The name Fresnel is referring to the lens inside the light, which has rings that focus the light toward the center of the lens. If your layout calls for something more eerie and less striking you may consider waiting for dusk and using the natural shadows created in an angular room as the sun is setting. Keep the lights in the room off and place your model, or object, in a beam of light.

Add color to your lighting design. Gels can be purchased inexpensively to cover any sort of lighting instrument. An array of colors are available for gels. Green is a good horror option as it gives a sickly glow to human skin tone. Red, the color of blood, can add a urgency to the horror in your photo. Stay away from blues as they have a calming effect on the psyche.
4Add practicals to your shot. Practicals are light sources that are placed on set in a scene. A practical can be something like a candle, a lamp or Christmas lights. A cleverly placed candle can add interesting shadows to your shot. A lamp with very low lighting may help balance the shot and give off an eerie glow that will give the viewer goose bumps.
