I just wanted to hold you in my arms

Far away from the people who care if you live or die.

Believe it or not this was inspired by Muse's "Starlight"...funny where inspiration comes from. Definitely kind of cool on black if you have the time.

She didn't start to giggle did she? Great execution, love the folds in the sheet.
November 23rd, 2015  
Great on white, scarringly spine-tingling on black.
November 23rd, 2015  
I love almost everything about this, except the greenish tint - I would have preferred pure B&W to further accentuate the dark mood. It's not going to stop me giving you a big Fav though! Great work Graeme... and Kim!
November 23rd, 2015  
@vignouse Thank you very much kind sir - there was a giggling fit in the middle of the process which, under the circumstances, could have ended poorly...
@vera365 Thank you very much :)
@overalvandaan It was a close run thing ;)
@motherjane No spousal units were harmed in the making of this image
@amandal Just an average day at Casa Stevens...
November 23rd, 2015  
I'm guessing you are not going to put this picture on your resume! Saying that, it has great lighting and is such an intriguing shot, I have to fav.
November 23rd, 2015  
@888rachel That depends entirely on which job I happen to be applying for - and thank you very much :)
November 23rd, 2015  
So this is therapy? Glad Kim didn't giggle too hard. Just remember, it's all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits.
November 23rd, 2015  
Wow! Has to be a Fav! Nothing on the telly then Graham? It's good to share hobbies! Lol!
November 23rd, 2015  
I immediately thought of American Horror Story. Nice.

It is hard to look in their eyes and the stench coming from the internals are better avoided but the feeling of blood on your skin is a must, isn't it.
November 23rd, 2015  
Omg @gazdi is as mad as you! Poor mrs S. How she suffers living with you.
November 23rd, 2015  
Bravo! The position of the knifepoint makes me a bit nervous though. ;)
November 23rd, 2015  
Beyond fantastically creeptastic.
November 23rd, 2015  
Fantastic. Great macabre feel.
November 23rd, 2015  
@elytra Thanks very much :)
@northy Thank you kindly :)
@juliedduncan It made us a bit nervous too...
@gazdi After yesterdays shot and all the recommendations for moisturiser, I must say that I prefer the blood
@shepherdmanswife She lived through the experience...
@bigugly Thank you very much :)
@pamknowler This is what happens when she hides the remote ;)
@bill_fe It was a close run thing...
November 23rd, 2015  
Is this for the friends theme?
November 23rd, 2015  
On black, the light behind you is outstanding. Fabulous shot!
November 24th, 2015  
@overalvandaan Haaa!! Great execution!
November 24th, 2015  
@pistache I was going for the Five Plus Two "Therapy" theme...
@kategoring Thank you so much :)
November 24th, 2015  
Positively ghastly! I suppose thats what its all about! The dark and mysterious side! Spectre-ish!
November 24th, 2015  
Fantastic set up and execution Graeme!! You are so twisted and I love that your family goes along with it :) So creepy. I love Muse but I can't say that particular song would have inspired me to shoot anything of the kind :) brilliant.
November 24th, 2015  
A Buffet! Love the lighting and such!
November 24th, 2015  
Your dark side is winning. Is this is prerequisite for a great photo?
November 24th, 2015  
@yaorenliu It always wins, in it's own time
@kevin365 Thanks very much good sir
@kerosene Thanks very much - my family unit does seem to be a good bunch. I think they've figured out that if I don't have an outlet all hell will break lose
@maggiemae Yes, all of that :)
November 24th, 2015  
Quality family time... so wholesome. That's what it is all about. ;) Fav.
November 24th, 2015  
@rosiekerr Thanks very much - we always spend time together in some form...
November 24th, 2015  
Wow!!
November 24th, 2015  
@kwind Thanks very much
November 24th, 2015  
Wow!! you have an amazing talent
November 24th, 2015  
@dora2 Thank you very much, far too kind
November 24th, 2015  
Careful now!
November 24th, 2015  
You know I have to go another way with my reply. Because I see a woman who very much loves and trusts her husband. The husband well.................
November 24th, 2015  
@mastermek Very
@joansmor It was touch and go for a few seconds, but then I realised that I can't cook...

A big fav for this. Do you pull the blinds before you take these shots or is there a audience? ...
November 24th, 2015  
Superbly staged, composed and processed. If somewhat bizarre. Fav.
November 24th, 2015  
Oh My! You've done it now, Stevens! Fav!
November 24th, 2015  
Excellent :-)
November 24th, 2015  
super
November 24th, 2015  
@chippy1402 Thanks very much :)
@yrhenwr Thank you kind sir, apparently there was a "holy shit I can feel the knife" moment...
@365projectorgsebgritt Thank you very much - bizarre is how we roll in these parts ;)
@jack4john We do pull the blinds but still insist on answering the door...
November 24th, 2015  
@mindeater Thanks you kindly - it was a rainy day with little else to do...
November 24th, 2015  
@graemestevens I know what you mean, rainy days are only good for drinking or stabbing people on a mask
November 24th, 2015  
@mindeater Both of those pass the time nicely
November 24th, 2015  
holy smokes 3 and i love the folds too
November 25th, 2015  
@annied Thank ya ma'am, always appreciated
November 25th, 2015  
just another rainy day activity for the children....
November 25th, 2015  
No joke, this is really good. Could be an album cover for any number of bands. Well done.
November 25th, 2015  
@alinz Have to fill in the time somehow
@stillcrappysailor Thank you very much :)
November 25th, 2015  
Perfect!! Love the image especially the light flare behind you and the quality of the sheet. So cool
November 26th, 2015  
@carla42 Thanks very much- nothing like a 300 thread count to get a good result ;)
