ABOUT

Leisure Cruise are an American band and I was fortunate enough to work on their self-titled debut album.
The idea behind the music was about leaving a broken Earth to colonise a new planet. Four designs were chosen to accompany different releases, each featuring naked people heading through barren landscapes toward an as yet unknown final designation.
One of the biggest concerns for any shoot is budget, and this was no exception. The upside was that we were able to combine several shoots into one trip to California, but the downside was that the combined budgets still restricted the amount of people who could fly out on the trip; photographer/driver, art director, assistant/female model, male model/second driver.
The models were shot walking into the distance along a dusty highway up until the first telegraph pole and then adjusted in Photoshop for weight, skin colour and hair back in the studio in the UK... oh and underwear removal. I then added a lot more figures travelling into the distance to add to the sense of drama. The ark was a small model of the Titanic that was built, doctored and painted, then later striped into the comp. The telegraph poles were kept in to add a sense of scale to the whole image.
