Crime Scene

   
Crime Scene
In doing research for crime scene photos I noticed that there really is not much on the internet in regards to true crime scene photography.  The typical photo was more in line with over conceptualizing the image and making more of a fashion photo than an accurate record.  My attempt does not fit the true form of crime photography but is only hampered by my available tools.  This scene was setup in a parking lot, close to sunset using caution tape generally used in construction sites.  The out of focus scene in the background shows a chalk outline of what was a body and a pool of blood. To the upper right of the picture is a bloody knife and each object, blood, body, and knife are marked with numbers.  I took more of a photo journalistic approach by shooting at a big enough aperture to put the entire background out of focus.
