An interesting piece?
When I first laid eyes on this the face seemed to be moving!
It was kind of weired I won't say scarey because I do not scare, but it made me look again.
I think it is a very unique picture, would like to see how effective it would be in black and white though.
I'm intrigued and would like to hear the sound that inspired this.
I think that it would be suitable for a very deep sound almost disturbing so something that would depict torment of the mind?
I love it because it actually makes me want to look again and again so for an ep cover it will draw attention to the public ey.
I often buy stuff because the cover looks good and not been dissapointed, although as I say Black and White would be really good with perhaps a hint of one contrasting colour!
Otherwise a great piece, an eye catcher to say the least.a.deviantart.net/avatars/x/p/x⦠" alt=" " title="Xpose-it"/>

Well do I know it... We brainstormed ideas on what the cover should be, and all thought that this was by far the best angle (the three pics combined, the front -cover, middle and back -cover) to the theme of the album. And then after a day or two, the cover designer sent us a link that btw sh&%t, placebo had exactly same type of cover a while back...
After thinking about it, I and we (me + the band and designer) came back to one of the core thoughts I have... 'Everything has already been done // if you haven't seen it, it just means you haven't looked hard or wide enough'. Plus, I thought, that at least the concept is different in so that you cannot understand it, unless you see all three pics... But somebody has probably had that idea already too.
But hey, if you compare my pic to that taken by Nadav Kander, I cannot but take it as a compliment. So thank you for it.

Thank you. It hardly even worked with just the model moving... But then, I used multiple flash burst with a shutter speed of up to 20 seconds with the model moving slowly to get the crispness and blurriness to the picture at the same time.
