For me, my immediate thoughts when thinking of a freak show are clowns. Although they do not typically appear in freak shows, I feel that the way they are presented as complete extremes - good or evil - and these extremities/contrasts allow for clowns to be classed as part of the freak show, as juxtapositions between beauty and horific qualities that are prevalent in the typical freak show. With this in mind, I painted scary clown make up on my brother and took pictures in the dark in order to present him in a sinister way. I would have preferred if I had used a red clown wig in order to make this image more authentic, however, i do feel that I was successful in conveying a scary image.
