A Thief's Ending

Headshot fans should love this!! Fans of body searches should also love this!!!

This a custom I shot with fan favourite Amber. The client's brief was minimal set-up, shot to chest and then finishing headshot, followed by a body search. The client also wanted a strong focus on the feet, shoes, socks, and trouser (pant) leg placement.

Amber plays a thief who breaks into an office in search of a prototype microchip. She finds the chip but is discovered by the head of security. She goes for her gun but is blasted in the chest, before she can plead or beg her life is ended with a headshot. Her killer then searches her body to find whatever she's stolen before rolling her corpse into a body bag ready for the clean up crew.

I'm really pleased with how the practical fx on the headshot came out - not just the prosthetic entry wound but also the blood spray from the exit wound.

Should I do more finishing headshots? Should I do more body searches?
