murderly yours

following my previous "dead" thoughts / posts, here are a few images which correspond to a sought-after atmosphere for my own images.
they aren't explicitly linked to anything to do with death or murder, but they do have a mysterious quality.
if i were to choose this option, i would add a few discreet hints in my pictures. for instance, the woman on the top left image could have a bit of blood on her fingers. same with the bottom close-ups.

on a slightly different note, the 1932 picture of loretta young by edward steichen at the top of the stairs, has the same mysterious ambiance, but the character on display looks more like the hunted than the hunter. which i would stay away from as my idea consists on the jewellery bringing out power and control out of the model.
thus also joining my "jewellery giving power & confidence" approach mentioned in my 20s' post.
