We’ve seen Lindsay Lohan in a lot of unflattering poses but they’ve been mostly candid paparazzi shots taken while the actress was under the influence of drink or drugs.  This time the 25-year-old actress is deliberately portraying herself in a controversial light in a picture taken by her friend and collaborator, photographer Tyler Shields. 

 Wearing a revealing black bra top and with her hair dark and pulled back, the actress has fake blood around her mouth and on her body and hands as she stares directly into the camera.
 She is brandishing a large knife covered in fake blood with streaks of red also spattered on the wall behind her.
 It’s not the first time Lohan has collaborated with Shields, having posed for numerous shoots including with a gun in her mouth for his book The Dirty Side of Glamour last year.
The photographer pays tribute to the actress in an accompanying interview saying; ‘She’s just so daring. She’s a character in herself and she is very good at it.
‘I shoot her a different way than I think anybody else shoots her, and I think she knows that and I know that and I think we compliment each other very well.’
