The final pictures display a male model devour raw meat (mincemeat and steak). Vivid contrast and warm dark colors. Blood is dripping from him and meat. His hunger makes him “blind” and ruthless, his face expressions show enjoyment in contrast with the violent body language. Long exposure for rough movement of the cannibal man. The model has meat on his body and head. The background is dark and display a kitchen floor for a more realistic result.
