These neat conceptual photographs are from a photo-a-day project by Heather Byington. I see a heavy influence from psychological horror films in Byington’s style, which is simultaneously ethereal and frightening. Most of the images use female models (some may be Byington herself, though the costuming and editing make it hard to tell for sure).
Some of them are inspired by a particular pop culture reference — such as a portrait of a woman with a light bulb in her mouth, inspired by Uncle Fester from The Addams Family, or the movie The Ward. Others simply use an idea or a theme appropriate for the day, such as a photo of a woman eating a realistic heart, sitting in front of a refrigerator, on Valentine’s Day. Byington also took some photos on the film sets where she has worked.
