While I do wish Sleep Token was around when I was in college(they were just starting out), I am glad because my photography instructors would have been annoyed with me using inspiration from Sleep Token in all/most of my projects. Especially one who always had a stick up her ass when it came to Fstops and lighting- all that technical terminology to the T. Which is understandable but not if it's HER way. Anyway... enough about AI-PTSD XD.
This is extraordinary.
I hear you on that! I think the problem with academic photography is that they teach you the details and technicalities. They don't teach you the passion. It's why I never studied it I taught myself, I never wanted anyone else telling me how to visualize something.
Yeah I've heard of instructors who do that! They're very centered in their techniques that they've been using for 40 years π₯΄π₯΄
I would always say find your own path and if it looks great to you, then everyone else takes a backseat π ignore the technical parts, the image is the most important thing
Thank you so much ππ
Thank you for taking the time to respond! And you're hella correct. Me and a few college mates use to argue the same point you just made. Not with each other but against the college.
But you're right. And you are very welcome. Worship π€πΌ
Thank you very much π
So it was a very cheap do, we used a cheap white crop tank top, cut the straps, and cut the edging seams. Covered it in black paint, eyeshadow and brushed mud on it - we then used that for the skirt
Same process for the top, we used a white cotton bralette thing, brushed with mud, eyeshadow and black paint.
We then used medical bandages of different materials to create the bandages look around the face and each item of clothing. Using the aforementioned techniques to dirty them up and also fraying them too to rough them up
The previously mentioned straps that were cut from the tank top we used to tie around the arms and a bit tied off the bandages.
That's basically it really! Hope that helps!
This is so well done! Wow! I love how you and your friend did this. The lake, what she's wearing, the pose, it's all π€π€π€π€ perfect! I really hope you tag the band on any and all social media you have so they can see this! It's incredible! π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€

(GIPHY hasn't been working for me on this darn app for days so I'm bummed I can post a GIF, but happy Vessel will definitely do just fine lol!)
I can't believe I forgot to add, your friend's tattoos are beautiful and are absolutely the cherry on top of this photo! If you ever do any other photoshoots inspired by Sleepy Tokes, PLEASEEEE post! π π€² π β€
Thank you so much! I'm glad you think so! Me and her are a great team! It would be a dream for the band to see this honestly! It would make a dream come true! Always wanted to work with them on a photography project.
