for the story titled ‘in anxious anticipation‘ for kinfolk magazine’s adrenaline issue, photographer aaron tilley and art director kyle bean were asked to create a supporting series of visuals that would aptly express a feeling of expectant and disquieting dread. these obscure states of mind have been imagined through a sequence of hair-raising and stressful scenarios that each capture a momentary yet maddening emotion of anticipation in a single frame. 

the photos creatively capture an everyday stressful situation in a unique and mischievous way — an ink pen precariously dangles above a pristine white shirt; falling concrete bricks domino downward towards a delicate champagne glass; and a rock-pendulum begins to swing across an arc of unlit matches.
