Los Angeles – Photographer Patrick Hall’s latest project is receiving a lot of attention online.
The video titled; "The Taser Photoshoot" was only uploaded to YouTube on Monday and has already received more than 1.2 million views.
In the short video clip the reactions of people are filmed and photographed as they get tased with a handheld stun gun.
On his website Patrick explained why he decided to make the video: "Like many photographers, I have a ton of ideas floating around that I think would be great to explore.
"This idea for a photo series showing people the second they are hit with a taser has been something I have wanted to photograph for almost a year now.
"Despite all the barriers it presented and the countless people who thought I was a sadist, crazy, or just outright irresponsible, I decided to finally stop talking about this idea and actually execute it."
