WASTELAND
SINGLE COVER ART FOR YOURS TOO SOON
“Wasteland. Missing someone that only exists in your head. “Left me in the dark“. Night scene. Strange things happen at night - a time of illusions, dreams, loneliness. “I’ll follow you anywhere“ - like a siren’s call. Her voice invites you into a world that doesn’t exist only “to tighten the noose“. “Moon girl,” - pulling you closer and pushing you away like the tide, “take me home. I only feel alive when I’m with you“ - the sea and water as a symbol of life and home - where we all came from.
Other ideas mentioned: abandoned places - as much as I am in love with this idea, abandoned places are not the easiest to access in the UK but I can try my best to recreate the feeling of loneliness and abandonment in a different way.”
I scheduled a photoshoot with a model on Sunday 6th of July on Brighton beach. Due to the bad weather on that day, we decided to start the photoshoot a bit earlier and get as many shots as possible before it started raining (or we
drowned in the high tide). However, getting there early meant the sun was still out and we couldn’t get the imagery we were going for. After struggling with the lighting for a while and trying a few practical effects to make the images appear like they were taken at night,, it actually got dark enough to achieve the desired effect. We then proceeded to retake all the images we had already taken. Since the time frame we had was only between 9:40pm and 10:15pm, it was quite useful to have tried multiple angles and poses before it got dark. We were very lucky to have avoided the rain!

Then, I proceeded with picking out the best images that compliment the meaning of the song in the best way. I chose compositions that play with the idea of power and control, mystery and secrets, double-facedness, refusing to see the truth.
I printed out the title of the song and scanned it while moving
the sheet of paper to create a distorted effect, and then added it to the chosen compositions.
