Welcome to the world of Surreal Ethereal Necrography, where the boundary between the earthly and the spiritual blurs through the lens of Michel Jansen.

Enter a realm where shadows come to life and the architecture of death becomes a gateway to the unknown.

This collection takes you to tranquil cemeteries, captured in a unique visual language strongly reminiscent of the atmospheric masterpieces of photographer Simon Marsden.

Through a combination of infrared photography and high-contrast black and white, Michel Jansen transforms historic resting places into settings that are surreal and otherworldly. The images are dreamlike and mysterious, but at the same time carry an ominous and bizarre edge that compels the viewer to look beyond the surface. Each photograph has been specially edited with extreme precision to create that characteristic, ethereal atmosphere that both enchants and disturbs.

Enter a realm where shadows come to life and the architecture of death becomes a gateway to the unknown.

Photographing cemeteries in the style of Simon Marsden (1948–2012) requires a specific view of the dividing line between our world and the supernatural. His work is known for the dreamlike, almost ghostly atmosphere he created using black-and-white infrared film.
