“Here are the young men, the weight on their shoulders.
Here are the young men: well, where have they been?
We knocked on the doors of hell’s darker chamber,
Pushed to the limit we dragged ourselves in.
Watched from the wings as the scenes were replaying,
We saw ourselves now as we never had seen:
Portrayal of the trauma and degeneration,
The sorrows we suffered and never were free.

Weary inside, now our heart’s lost forever.
Can’t replace the fear or the thrill of the chase.
Each ritual showed up the door for our wanderings:
Open, then shut, then slammed in our face.

Where have they been?
Where have they been?
Where have they been?
Where have they been?”

First shoot from the first session I had with the amazing Jimmy Richter. As you can see it’s an old-fashioned Vampiric phosothoot with typical clothes and a lot of red in it. Actually, we were supposed to have also a nude female model posing as our victim, but in the end she couldn’t make it and we had to rearrange the ideas for the set. Besides, it was a little difficult because I don’t have a remote control for my camera and I had to go back and forth to set up things for the next photo and model as well. It was a bit difficult and tyring, but I really had fun in the end.
The song I quoted is actually a Joy Division cover, but I really love the Theatre of Treagedy version too.
And oh, by the way, he’s the only one drinking blood because he won the chess match. Damn!
