Selma Blair Took `Macabre' Photos Of Naked Ditch-diving....

Actress Selma Blair once posed for a series of self portrait photos lying naked in a ditch.The Hellboy star studied photography in Michigan before she became an actress and she had some macabre ideas as to what would make a good shot.She explains, "I didn't have many models I was comfortable asking to pose for me, so I did a lot of self-portraits.

"I didn't want them to look as if they were of me, so I made myself up like (artist) Magritte's mother, who drowned herself and was supposedly found with her nightdress wrapped around her head."I took a bunch of self-portraits in that state and some very macabre, victim-y ones, in which I'd torn off my clothes, found a ditch at the side of the road and jumped in.".
