# Blood-Soaked Shoots 'Blood, Sweat & Fears' by Andrew Smith is Awash in Emotion By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2010-05-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blood-sweat-fears-by-andrew-smith References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/blood-swaet-_amp-fears/512982) & [yratof](http://www.yratof.co.uk/) If you're not bugged out by a little bit of blood, you'll love 'Blood, Sweat & Fears' by Andrew Smith. This shoot follows a shadowy fighter soaked in the red stuff, and although the imagery is quite gruesome, it's beautiful nonetheless. I especially love the composite image that kicks off the gallery above, as it shows a fighter both in attack and in ready mode.
