Kiss of Death

I wanted to make Kiss of Death as theatrical as possible so I lit the scene as if it was the main act in a circus big top - pitch dark background and strong center spotlighting add a severe look to a dangerous high wire performance. Kiss of Death includes tools that were given to me by my grandfather. He was a master carpenter in England and as a boy I loved to look at his many tool boxes filled with the most delightful devices.
