The James Reynolds 'Last Suppers' [photo series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) depicts last meal requests of death row prisoners before there execution. Simply designed and shot, these photographs show some of the weird and interesting items asked for, ranging from an olive, to a full [KFC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-degustation) meal.

Check out the gallery to view the James Reynolds Last Suppers series and see what some "dead men walking" want to eat before they take their final strolls. Makes me wonder what I would ask for.
