Morgue Photos for the Kennedy Center and Culture Project's production of George Packer's play "Betrayed"

In one of the scenes in George Packer's play "Betrayed", the main character goes to a morgue in Iraq to identify the body of a fellow Iraqi working as a interpreter for the Americans in the green zone. The director, Pippin Parker, had the digitally distressed versions of these photos projected onto the back brick wall of the stage to aid the character in his search.
I did all bits of the "distressing" in Photoshop. These are actresses who are all perfectly healthy and weren't harmed in any way.

  3. These were very well done. Truly disturbing when I first saw them. Thought they were actual morgue photos.
