This dude is not so much a photographer as he is a curator of awesome creepy antique photos, but an artist none the less.

"A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of curious photographs.
A horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive.
A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows."

I love reading and I pride myself in finding interesting and unique books. While this one is no longer in obscurity since Tim Burton is currently making the trilogy into movies, it is still extremely unique. It is illustrated by a series of real, antique, found photographs, all of a strange or creepy nature. Here are a few examples of the photos, but I would definitely recommend reading it. Especially before you see the movie, because the book (as is almost always the case) is much better.
