A rework of the classic Pink Floyd – The dark side of the moon created for Deposit photos.

Depositphotos brought together 19 artists to reimagine 19 all-time legendary record covers. Covering everything from The Beatles to Sigur Ros, from Aladdin Sane to Kid A.

Alex approached me with the brief inviting me to pick a cover and reimagine the artwork for 2017. I selected The dark side of the moon to set myself a challenge of recreating such an iconic cover.

After experimenting with 3D techniques I settled on a photographic approach, using a prism, lasers & smoke. After a session of experimentation I found the perfect setup achieving good results in camera.

With some minor adjustments in Post and some complimentary typography my cover was complete. Here is my result.

“Black Hole” is a series of images, which shows paint modeled by centripetal force. The setup is very simple: Various shades of acrylic paint are dripped onto a metallic rod, which is connected to a drill. When switched on, the paint starts to move away from the rod, creating these amazing looking structures.

The motion of the paint happens in a blink of an eye, the images you see are taken only millisecond after the drill was turned on. To capture the moment, where the paint forms that distinctive shape, I connected a sensor to the drill, which sends an impulse to the flashes. These specialized units are capable of creating flashes as short as a 1/40000 of a second, freezing the motion of the paint.
