PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE always trying to make people feel as comfortable as possible but this ‘jolting’ photoshoot aims to do the complete opposite.
The Taser Photoshoot, by American photographer Patrick Hall, depicts portraits of people’s faces when hit with a stun gun.
Hall has edited two videos and produced a varying range of emotionally-charged close up shots of his subjects’ reactions.
“Despite all the barriers it presented and the countless people who thought I was a sadist, crazy, or just outright irresponsible, I decided to finally stop talking about this idea and actually execute it,” Hall said.
“The results were pretty hilarious.”

The guy in the thumbnail picture looks like he’s experiencing something entirely more pleasurable.
That’s shocking !
It would be more of an accurate description to say they were hit with a stun gun on low, most of them were smiling when they were zapped, and certainly not the reaction of people hit with a stun gun (the hint is in the name!)!
James, your spot on…it’s a stun gun…not a tazer.. Major difference between both!
He says it’s done under camera view, there seems to be alot going on
