My photo essay for photography coursework: the narrative of Dorian Gray told through objects that represent the company he keeps and the state of his soul.

Thank you! The wine and blood were so hard to make- weird mixtures of strawberry syrup, tomato puree and oil paint! :')

Is that pile of powder there supposed to be coke? o-o;

[copycatgirl]

It was actually supposed to be powdered opium, but obviously I know nothing about the appearance of powdered opium, and my internet was down as I was doing the shoot, so I couldn't stick it into Google Images, so it was a wild stab in the dark really!

Do you like the photographs? :)

[dangerprawn]

YUS! They're super cool or else I would have just moved on and not commented. Sorry I did not make that clear. How long have you been studying photography?

(This is me f-listing you.)

Powdered Opium It comes from the seeds of poppies. Erowid.com is a good resource for elicit substances.

Thank you! :) Hmm, it must have been six months now. I'm doing an AS Level in it at college, but I'm probably not going to take it onto A Level, it depends how my grades turn out.

Thank you for the link- so, white rock opium can be suitably represented by flour, I think :')
