I know it's a bit dark but the aim of photography is to tell a story. Not all stories are nice.

A shot I've had in mind for a while and inspired by a chap called Rick Nunn (http://www.ricknunn.com) whose spectacular Project 50s provided the motivation to do more with my camera and dip my toes into strobist waters.

Every photographer starts their career by seeing other people's works and thinking "I'd like to be able to do that one day", and Rick's work inspired me in that way. I now think I've reached a stage in my photography where I could tackle this shot and "get it right". This is my homage, a nod to him, and a thank you for the inspiration :)

Strobist - YN560II through umbrella (now since broken...) at 1/8th power, pointing at my bloody corpse from atop the kitchen worktop.
YN460 right beside the knife at 1/64th pointed at the ceiling (avoids the horrific highlights I was getting when aimed directly at it)
