Patrick Hall, Charleston-based photographer and founder of fstoppers, recently posted the fruits of a strange and delightful photo shoot in which “each person was tazed by their friend or significant other.” As Hall writes in his project description, “The emotions on both sides of the taser were extremely entertaining to watch. The person getting tazed was almost always nervous and jittery with either a sense of fear or anxiety. The participants doing the tazing had a different demeanor altogether. Most of them were excited to cause pain to their friend and only showed remorse immediately after executing the shock.” 

The video at bottom, which shows some of the tasing in slow motion, is wildly entertaining. There’s a surprising amount of mirth in the video, which is surely part of Hall’s point, about the deflecting need to veer into humor when something unpleasant is going on.
