Murder Mayhem
A collaboration between myself and Adrian Carmody
We both got to model and photograph each other. Our theme was based on 1940s Gangster / Film Noir. We sourced the props and costuming as best as we could and finally made a date to shoot this in the studio. 4 hours of role play, laughs and a bundle of photos to play with afterward!
This image is also showcased in the 2009 calendar (click image to view the calendar)
Hilarious illustrated version.
Murder Mayhem belongs to the following groups:
Art Deco Heaven, Glamour, Pinup, Pulp Noir and Theatrical and Staged Photography Available for sale asMatted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters
