Left 4 Dead tribute is stunning photo

The crew at Night Zero love zombies. They have a graphic novel series where they use real actors to tell their zombie horror story. I've gone through a few pages and like it so far.

Recently, they took a small break from their comic to come up with this tribute to Left 4 Dead, called Left 5 Dead. Night Zero found real people that look like the four heroes from the game and dressed them up as the characters to create this fantastic photo shoot. Some Photoshop was used as well to help give the pictures the Left 4 Dead feel. 

In some of the photos on the Flickr page, there is an additional member (hence the name of the shoot). His name is Jack and he looks like a pirate. Not sure why he's in the shoot, but I wouldn't turn him away if I was in the middle of a zombie apocalypse ... even if he is a dirty stinking pirate. 

Check out Night Zero for behind-the-scenes pictures from the shoot and keep an eye on the site as they promise to have more Left 5 Dead pictures going up in the near future.

Those pictures look amazing. Definitely picking up the L4D feel...

...other than the pirate. Like, to the point where it's throwing me off. I feel he makes the pics he's included in slightly worse (especially that group pose one).

I love these photos (although the pirate dude I can do without)! Very well job done!

Has Francis developed a taste for zombie?:)

Great shots, with the obvious exception of the pirate (WTF?). The ones without him are great though, very cool.

Someone needs to put down the HDR.

Actually, everyone needs to put down the HDR.

Great photoshoot. It looks just like L4D, except for Francis, he's a bit off. Love the shooping effects. All that's missing is the HUD and various other interface stuff.

Good, but when did Francis decide to replace muscle with fat? That's terrible. He's terrible.

Odds that the pirate guy had a hand in making this/came up with the idea: 95%

The Pirate has a deep meaning of piracy making games crap ...

Pirates are cool, though. But I'm not sure it adds anything.

These look like screens out of a sequel to the game, the shots are gorgeous, but look oddly like they'd fit in a videogame.
