Portrait Project?

The annual zombie walk was held the Saturday before Halloween. I dragged the lights downtown a little bit before it was scheduled to start and started taking photographs. I was primarily after portraits for my project, and I ended up with about 55 or so photos I could use.

Looking at them though, I'm conflicted. I did get some really good photos, but the are all "zombiefied". I really want to use them, and I probably will end up doing so. But I'm not sure where photos such as these fit into a "formal" project.

I'm probably just overthinking this again. I do like the way they turned out.
