A goofy photo project.
The idea started with a simple kitchen knife which eventually grew to katana. :)
Photography was performed in the courtyard of a warehouse.
Choice of location was very important. The location had to have hot water for artificial rain because it was cold outside.
Budget did not include hospital insurance for the model. :)

Subsequently, we used the moment to do more shots with a different vision:
