Let me set the scene: you are a security guard and someone comes to you yelling frantically that there has been a stabbing and people need help. You rush to the scene, have to assess the situation and threat level and triage people to see who needs help first.

So yeah, this is what I have been photographing for a living this week, or a part of these kind of training scenarios for security guards. Most of your basic security guards have very little training so the company I shoot for offers extra training, and they don't do it like anyone else would.

The trainers had done a MacGyver worthy gadget from a windshield washer reservoir to spew up some blood when the actors who play victims press a button. It was pretty hilarious. I'm pretty sure the guy in a dark jacket has actually done some acting before because he was soooo in character, shaking like in a shock and even managed to look pale.

These kind of days are super fun to shoot, though often very hectic and demanding. I usually have pretty free range on what I shoot and how I post process, as long as they get a lot of material for future training and marketing purposes. Their instagram is looking way better these days because of me.

I know this kind of stuff differs greatly from what I shoot for myself, but do you find it interesting and want to see more?
