Brooklyn based-photographer Henry Hargreaves has re-created the last meals of nine death row prisoners including Ted Bundy and Timothy McVeigh.

Hargreaves imagined how serial killer and rapist Bundy and Oklahoma bomber McVeigh's last meal would have looked.

He said that he tried to recreate the meals as if the prisoner had just sat down to eat and were looking into their plate, the Daily Express reported.

Hargreaves used cutlery and table cloths from the era inmates died in, with an intention to revamp the traditional ritual.

He added that it's a new look at the traditional ritual to grant a destined person a final meal of their request and to receive religious right.
