Creative Direction & Photography for Adrian T. Bell’s Album - Different World

Approach

From a technical standpoint, I approached this shoot with a very modest set up. I wanted to focus on technique with no post production to bring the mood to life as organically as possible. The shots were taken in a tunnel under Vyšehrad Cathedral in Prague, Czech Republic. I used it as an impromptu studio while testing shots in a light rain. Ambient natural lighting helped capture some frontal details, while long exposures were used to capture the rain drops falling in mid-air.

Concept

The ethereal dance of darkness and highlights took center stage as I attempted to frame and capture the essence of space. The deliberate use of negative space accentuates the vastness, creating an atmosphere that resonates with cosmic serenity. Each photograph becomes a portal, inviting you to lose yourself in the enchanting balance between void and substance.
