David Muyllaert as Desmond in "Dead Meat" 2003

David was playing the part of a young gravedigger in director Conor McMahons rural horror film “Dead Meat” where mad cow disease has infected the local population turning them into, well you guessed it flesh eating Zombies. This was Day 1 for David and he was just dressed up in rural garb about to fling himself in front of a car when I took this portrait of him in the fairy woods of Leitrim.
I love this portrait as it is timeless or more to the point it harks back to the Golden age of movie heroes and stars and David is one here.

    Strong portrait, and has all the traditional virtues. Just had to be b&w. As you say, timeless.
