A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

hello! i’m a senior in high school and i’m preparing for my ap portfolio.

one of my ideas include using a scatterings of fake blood in a bathtub + on the tile floors and walls. i’ve tried looking for washable fake blood props, and most fake blood i’ve found is permanent.

i can’t stain my bathtub with fake blood. my parents will murder me and the fake blood will turn into real blood.

any ideas?

This is excellent advice for photographers at any stage of their artistic journey. It is very difficult to find the right balance between hitting your viewer over the head with an image concept versus the image saying nothing at all. Having said that, the fake blood could still be effective, depending on what you want to say, this is key, make sure you have something to say. Work on your artist statement, perhaps even running the statement through ChatGPT to help clarify your artistic intentions. In the film industry they use corn syrup and food colouring, just make sure the food colouring doesn’t stain, it would be wise to test it first.
