Have you seen this guy?
He’s not really a naked alien
You may have had a tire-screeching double-take moment if you drove along the highway on the Burin Peninsula this weekend.
An alien — a life-sized, pale, naked extra-terrestrial — has been walking in the area, earning stares and “WTF” snaps on Facebook, before people learn it’s really Australian photographer Jonathan May in costume for a project.
May is an award-winning photographer based in Sydney, who’s actually working on two projects while in the province: photography capturing fog (May told The Overcast he actually found Newfoundland and booked a flight here after doing a Google search for the world’s foggiest place), and a short film about an alien named Trevor who lands here.
May’s been posting some of his haunting photos on Instagram.
“It’s a strange place I’ve landed in,” he wrote Saturday.
May has been in the province for about a week, and will end his stay by shooting some footage in St. John’s before heading home to Australia.
