Slitherstition by Andrew McGibbon

I don't really like snakes. Something about them just generally creeps me out. But, this project, titled Slitherstition, by Andrew McGibbon is pretty awesome, and is changing my mind about snakes (at least as art subjects). The coolest thing about these photographs, is that they aren't just of snakes photoshopped on colorful backgrounds; the snakes were actually placed on the colored background and photographed live.The whole project was created to make people like me, give snakes another look, and realize they are more than just creepy, sneaky, and evil. "These images, then, are a result of my attempts to break down our suppositions of the animal. Photographed with warm light on bright colours, I am looking at their enchanting beauty and design, and their vulnerability, as creatures simply existing outside of the buckling pressure of the evil they are meant to represent," said McGibbon in his project description. Check out more of the photos below, and read more about the project from the artist here.
