The term werewolf refers to a mythical being that is described in folklore as a human who transforms into a wolf or a wolf-like creature under certain conditions – often during a full moon. Werewolves traditionally stand for wildness, animalistic instincts, danger, and transformation and appear in literature, film, art, and pop culture.
In photography, the motif “werewolf” is used to portray male models in dynamic, powerful, and mystical roles. With make-up, costumes, masks, and lighting design, visual worlds can be created that are located between fantasy, dark fashion, and aesthetic staging. The werewolf motif makes it possible to visually emphasize movement, physical strength, and transformation and to stage the models as supernatural, fascinating characters.
