Motts, I HAVE to ask...the stain above her head...did you put it there for this shot, or was it there? It makes it look so dang realistic! Excellent...

Yeah there was some extra fake blood (syrup) from a previous film laying around her house so we brought it along.

Well at least these days, fake blood actually LOOKS like blood. Great shot!

Wow...

Ok...side question...
Do you guys make your own fake blood? The way it photographs is beautiful. Ok, so now I sound weird but I love stage makeup and such and I really love that blood. I really do sound like a weird-o but you guys know I'm not! Honest! :0) Anyways, if you have the "receipe" I would love it!

Candace made it for a film project, it involves some sort of syrup but I don't know the exact recipe.

I can't help wondering... how brave she was to lay there inside that DIRTY biologically hazardous tub.
Ah, I guess we'd all do that in the name of art?

After 13 years of disuse, I don't think any bacteria would survive. I wouldn't ask anyone to interact with hazardous waste.
Motts

Hipolytha: bacteria grows best in warm moist places, I believe that Mr. Motts had stated that Candace about froze doing these shoots, so not likely she is going to catch anything 8-)

Wonderfully full of emotion, I love the realistic looking blood, and how it was pooling into the drain and not just poured in some straight line like some cheap 2 dollar horror film.

This is so realistic! This so awesome Motts! Your site is the only one I really have become obessed with! I am really into Gothic and Candice in this gallery reminds me of a beautiful Gothic spirit angel walking through the halls of enchantment.

In this pix, it seems as if some melevolent spirit of the past has bashed her head in and threw her in the tub. and that blood is so real looking. This is downright chilling!

This is so awesome! She had spunk to lay in that tub. She seem as if she died and now laying for her prince to kiss her back to life. That blood cascading into the tub drain is so awesome. So life-like.

The blood is great but, how about the way the light glows off her skin with an opal tint. Now that is amazing.

So disturbing, like the cadaver of a young women in the morgue. Life, but no life, history but no history. The photo relays the depth of it all. Much more than I expected. The series said a lot more than realized. Again, good show, Motts.

yeah i agree with benji and the others, what fortitude it must have taken to lay in that filth ridden bath tub. absolutely never would i do that.

I love how there are spots of blood on the edge of the tub. Kind of like someone carried her into the tub, you know?
Kristin

i hope you left the 'blood' there. that'd give the next people in there something to talk about....

oh, and i keep expecting her eyes to pop open. thanks for that...

Bri - I have used simple red food coloring in light corn syrup, it works very well. My guess is that's what Candace used. Under the brand name Karo syrup, you can get it in any grocery store in the syrup aisle.

her mouth wouldnt be completely closed and somewhat tight like that if she were unconscious, but i like the overall idea of the image.

How could you be so trite? That's serious disrespect to those who suffered & died there. Maybe if you were ever a victim of such treatment, then you would have the right. But since you know nothing of suffering...how dare you?!
