GORE: Brain Trauma Research

My concept depicts the model having spiders eating or nesting in her brain, so I researched the physical effects of extreme brain trauma and haemorrhaging. The ones that I'd like to incorporate into my work are:

-Dilated pupils
-Nosebleed
-Bleeding from one or both ears
-Sensitivity to light

I've chosen these ones because I think I will be able to work them into my design in a high fashion way. I also think that these symptoms will contrast the most with the "glamorous" victim, which will give my design an eerie, surreal look. I still want to have my photos have the same effect as Roger Ballen's - scary and horrific without using tonnes of gore. There's just something about them.

EXAMPLES IN FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY

Nosebleeds and blood from the eye.

Dialated pupils and pale skin from light sensitivity.
