Murder Mayhem by Helen McLean

Murder Mayhem by

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.

    love this Helen. Fantastic in all its elements… so what is with the hand? I love a good mystery!

  • Thank you my darling! What’s with the hand you ask? Just wait and see… or maybe, it will not be revealed… maybe you will have to watch the movie to find out!!
