This Shot was taken in New Orleans in my friend (the model) Teresa's bathroom in January 2004. Teresa tends to lean more toward the dark side and wanted to do a shoot with fake blood in a bathtub as a staged horror scene. I had worked with Teresa in the past and we were good friends so we always had fun when we worked together. The shoot wasn't ideal, I was just coming out of a 2 year hiatus from photography so my gear was extremely limited. I was shooting with a Nikon Cool-pix 995, which wasn't the best camera but I was just making the leap to digital and couldn't afford a digital-SLR. We had no lighting for this shoot either so we improvised with a halogen torch lamp. A lot of the photos were unusable but thanks to the magic of Photoshop I was able to salvage a few and this is one of them. The fake blood we were using didn't photograph very well, it ended up looking orange so I decided to make them black and white which I think really worked well. Anyway this was one of the best ones to come out of that shoot so enjoy.
