VEspertine cover without swan overlay

[Bleepo]

I digitally edited the M/M overlay off the image (and also colorized it) to see what the original photo would have looked like. I've never seen it anywhere.

Thank you, that's beautiful. But could you try messing with the greys in the first one to make it lighter, like the album cover? I tried a few things in Gimp 2 myself, but couldn't get it done.

I also edited some other björk images:


Vulnicura





VOLTA

oh gosh how cool it must have taken you some time it's really smooth, just the hair and hands edges are a bit sharp but the rest is incredible! great job

[Smörgås]

Nice!

This is the image of the photo shoot:

I reduced the contrast if that's what you mean? Hope that helps. Maybe someday they'll show the original photo. I'm also still holding out for behind-the-scenes Homogenic photoshoot pics.

Thanks! That's great!

Sure! It was pretty tedious, but glad to share with fellow fans so we can sort of imagine the original pic!

Also interesting to note: when I was editing this, I noticed that it looks like they may have superimposed two different shots; one shot with her arm down (to support the swan head) and one shot with the raised arm pose that we see. In the cover image, it looks like the swan shadow falls on something other than the pavement, and if that's her breast, it looks like it's in a really unnatural position/size. Who knows.

I can't unsee that now! It reminds me of those dodgy Photoshop efforts you see online like these

i think it's just the boob

look on the photo where you can see inez : her boob is sagging on her side a bit

[Bleepo]

Yeah, you're probably right. Just looks weird to me how it continues off the bottom of the image in a straight line.

As an aside, does anyone know if this is another Inez shot? If so, is it Björk? If so, is it from the vespertine cover shoot? It looks like it could be to me. Particularly how the wet hair lies on the face, the arm, ...

[Bleepo]

I guess it doesn't look like her teeth. Maybe Milla jovovich?

^^ someone once posted that image in another thread. it's not . i remember it having something to do with a t-shirt print?

[wontonbaby]

Nice!

This is the image of the photo shoot:

From the look of this, the swan beak should overlap the white of the dress



but it doesn't. in fact it looks strange in quite a few different ways. i think it is an edited photo

[benjicoq]

it loooks different because bjork was not photographed frozen
she did move between shots
and they probably adjusted the dress many times

[stelliger]

damn, that's a really good job you've done.

[Dot]

WOW fantastic job! i once started doing this but got so frustrated that it wasn't looking right so i'm glad someone took the time and effort to do this, it genuinely looks great!

[Bleepo]

Thanks!
