Wow Melanie, this packs some punch...

My immediate thoughts were somewhere between Clockwork Orange and The Rocky Horror Picture show. But Ive never seen 'The Crow'.

This is quite a break from your flowers, but it works very well. The make up and the grin are excellent, and the lighting adds an additional menace. Nice ☺

This is an image of Brandon Lee from the film The Crow.

Ed, Colin - thanks for your comments. I agree about the Rocky Horror part as Rab actually does look a bit like Tim Curry from the film The Rocky Horror Picture Show, so there was always going to be that comparison.

TOP TIP: Never work with a photographer as a model. They will just moan and whinge all the way through the photoshoot.

Is the hairlight in the right place?
The uplight's not burning the chest out is it?

etc etc ;o)

Great image - certainly Tim Curry-like. The make up and lighting compliment Rab's great smile - even if he's a bit evil looking!

Great facial expressiveness...! The Crow was an excellent movie. Brandon Lee as well as Bruce Lee were both two of my favorite actors. Looks like much study went into this photo as well as the makeup. Good job.

Excellent image! Prefer this one to the other two. Very Tim Curry! Maybe that's a suggestion for another shoot although I think you may have come close to something like that before - if I remember rightly (?).
