Mother: A Photo Shoot

It is essential that the forensic pathologist or medicolegal death investigator recognize and appreciate the uniqueness of immersed and submerged remains. The typical decomposition changes proceed more slowly in the water, primarily due to cooler temperatures and the anaerobic environment. However, once a body is removed from the water, putrefaction will likely be accelerated.

Rot said...

Totally. haha

And thanks! This wasn't an easy shoot.
Thankfully the tub is back to normal and not looking like I don't clean my own house!

Sara said...

Suuuuuure it is ;) lol

Rot said...

haha WHATEVER!
I'll have you know I was wondering if people would think that was how my tub normally looks!!
It's acrylic paint!! haha

Holy Tarra said...

You had me convinced that it looked like that normally haha! Beautiful job of creating a faux finish of grime!! The second shot is the best I think but the black and white is really cool too.

Gross! Love it!
If that was real- there’s not enough Comet in the world to get that clean!

Rot said...

haha

This should be an ad for one of those medical alert bracelets!

Phenomenal work, the grime and flesh chunks are so realistic!

Rot said...

haha that is so funny.
and thanks!

Could also be an ad for "VISIT YOUR PARENTS MORE OFTEN"

As i look in the mirror.

Hey, Wren, Or an add for Kaboom or Oxiclean. I was imagining Billy Mays (the infomercial guy who yells) trying to clean this tub as he is holding back the dry heaving. "Dead mother-in-law in tub? this will take knock it out!"

I feel you on "visits parents more often. " If this was an ad, my dad would cut it out and mail it to us kids.

Rot said...

haha
that is SO great.

Wren said...

Willow - totally!! Would make a great commercial in one of those retro Halloween specials!

OK, that last black & white photo literally looks like a Stephen Gammell illustration and I am living for it. Great work.

Beautiful work. Looks like something a real estate agent would come across.

Rot said...

Thanks, guys!
I really appreciate that.
And that's funny about the real estate agent.

Nebulosus, I made some others in that "Gammell" style and will post em soon.
Glad you liked that one so much!
