As a big Weyes Blood fan, this video was so fascinating to watch. The album artwork really ties the album together for me, and it’s one of the best, most creative album covers I’ve ever seen. Thanks for making this :)
the one where she is sitting on the floor, reaching for the window is my favourite. this is going to be a legendary album cover for the rest of time. this might sound strange but honestly its so beautiful it made me cry once lol
my mind immediately went to "why not doing this in photoshop?" but I'm very glad that there are people out there that really value this practical and artistic way of working. Great insight!
this to me is a once in a generation album cover, it was honestly awe inspiring to get a peek into the creative outlook and talent behind it, thank u !!
its great to have so much insight of the project from the creator himself. this is definitely one of my favorite album covers of all times and im sure in the future it will be seen as a classic!
amazing job, easily my favorite album cover of all time. finding pictures from the shoot on pinterest is what introduced me to weyes blood. i remember seeing one the pics where natalie has the phone in her hand and being completely baffled how she was able to use it underwater lol now i know. i’m so happy you posted the process this was incredibly interesting.
Discovered your video on the Weyes Blood subreddit. The album cover is nothing short of iconic. Thanks for putting in the work and giving this to us. 👍
I saw this album in a record shop when I was shopping for vinyls and I instantly went to Spotify to listen to it and the music as well as the cover art mad me but it instantly
What I love about art is how when people get involved into the process with the author they start speaking "the same language". The way you started relating to the vibe the album wanted to portray and how you gave its own interpretation is simply amazing. It can happen in any type of media, when the editor and writer team up, when a composer and instrumentalist do it as well, and in this case, you and Natalie. It puts in perspective how much work goes only on the cover, and makes me appreciate much more. Again, I loved the staff's and your work Brett, as much as i did with the album!
The still of Natalie Laura Mering holding the curtains as the light is pouring in is breathtaking. Wonderful photography and cinematography. 🌸 I cannot imagine how much patience Brett and their crew are hosts to.
This artwork plus album sound, is one of the most beautiful thing in art scenary of our time, and maybe all time. Awesome and inspiring job. Thank you!
coincidentally I come here two years later to appreciate how this work of art was made! Congratulations for the exceptional work! In these two years I haven't seen any other cover as beautiful as the one you guys made. It really is very iconic!
This is almost exactly what my version of “counting sheep” is. Imagining my bedroom is underwater is extremely calming to me and seeing a real life version of it is so surreal.
how did she see? i can never see anything underwater. adore this cover. the outtakes are fabulous, the shots where she trashes the room and she's on the bed is dope.
I always wondered how they did the album artwork and now that I know, my appreciation and love for it has only grown. Great work, Brett! A perfect cover to a perfect album :)
Absolutely brilliant. The photos captures so much enigma and meaning for me, almost as if I've felt the way these photos look before, they are that evocative. Thank you for uploading your process, was a joy to watch, especially the photos that didn't end up getting used.
This video is amazing and such a great in depth look at all the effort that goes into making such a surreal photo. The shot he pauses on at 39:20 is one of my favourites
Because of this album art i listened to the album after needledrop review. And now weyes blood is my one of the most listened artists . Kudos to u for making this beautiful album cover.
I remember being interested in listening to the band because this album cover is just SO beautiful and it caught my attention in such a way that even if I didn't like the songs I just had to keep it in my favorites on spotify lol I ended up also finding one of my favorite albums! Congratulations on the work and thank you so much for sharing, It's so amazing and seeing the thought process is really inspiring!
wow, great job on the album cover! at first, I thought there was no way this is done in photoshop or some editing and I'm right, it's all practical! My favourite shot was the one that used on the album cover, really beautiful! kudos to you and your team!
OMG. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST WHIMSICAL AND AESTHETICALLY SO EXPRESSIVE COVERS IVE EVER SEEN. YOU SIR HAVE DONE MORE THAN JUSTICE TO THE COVER AND SET THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE ALBUM. IM REALLY HAPPY THAT I SAW HOW YOU MADE IT FROM THAT CREATOR
I was just wondering the other day about how this was created, and then TH-cam recommended me this. I really love that it is all real, you put so much work to created such wonderful shots that have such an amazing feeling to them. I love it
This is absolutely amazing! At first when I saw the cover I thought it was green screen, so glad I watched the process. So much hard work was put in to this, keep it up !!!!
Absolutely magical seeing the process behind this shoot and especially all the outtakes! 🤯 Thanks so much for lifting the lid on the art for one of my favourite records and indeed one of my favourite covers ever!
i love this cover, its a masterpiece. thanks for blessing us with it. i got so inspired and drew this last year over quarantine and im really happy you noticed it.
omg thats so nice to watch i love that you showed everything from the concept/process/build...and the actual photoshoot and post also, props to you (and the team) for building it all, LOVE that was not photoshop needed it (for this aspect) building the sets brings a whole another energy from the project, as a set designer student myself, it harms my heart :) very good job
Really cool seeing the process of how everything came together. Titanic Rising was my favorite album from 2019 and the album cover is up there with some of the greatest album covers of all time in my opinion. Fantastic work and loved seeing all of the other shots that didn't get used. I imagine it must have been difficult for them to decide which ones to use!
God this such an amazing cover! I have to check them out now. The lighting from the window is perfect , love the contrast of the lit floor against the cool scenery!!
This is absolutely my favourite album cover of all time, praise you and your team for pulling this off mate
Thank you, it's a very special project for me :)
The album art is litterally why I listened to this
awww that's amazing!
I have sat and thought about this cover for so long thank you
Awww, thank you!

Oh wow, that's such high praise!
It made me cry too because it's just so beautiful. I thought I was the only one lol
my mind immediately went to "why not doing this in photoshop?" but I'm very glad that there are people out there that really value this practical and artistic way of working. Great insight!
i actually first thought it was made with PS
It wouldn't have the same impact and mood.
my fav album artwork of all time
Wow, that's high praise! Thank you!
Most gorgeous album cover EVER
You're too kind!
@@BrettStanleyPhotography what I said was an understatement actually 🥵 here to support your future work!!
You're absolutely right about that head-above-water shot. The imagery and symbolism that photo represents is massive and nearly endless. Awesome job!
Thank you, appreciate you taking the time to comment!
this is very interesting, never would have thought how much work goes into these projects, And the album cover is one of all time my favorites
It was hard work but lots of fun :)
this to me is a once in a generation album cover, it was honestly awe inspiring to get a peek into the creative outlook and talent behind it, thank u !!
thank you for loving it :)
4 years of one of the best albums ever made with one of the best visuals and cover ever made
one of my favorite albums and album covers as a photographer I love seeing albums that are just photographic phenomenons! Amazing!!
Thank you!
It was this cover that really hooked me into listening Weyes Blood for the first time, so full credit to you and your team mate!
I'm so glad it had such an impact!

I'm glad you found it, I'm so proud of this work :)
I thought most of this was going to be a photoshop tutorial. This is super high effort. You're all amazing!

The cover was genuinely the reason i gave the album a go and fell in love with it that’s how amazing it is .
Great work Brett. Natalie is such a special artist and you really created some brilliant visuals that perfectly accompany the tone of her album.
One of the most beautiful album covers ever.
According to me, this is the best cover of all time. Congratulations, Sir! Your work is amazing.
Great work, digging the 80s-90s bedroom. It almost looks like a shot from a nostalgic dream.
Totally what we were going for, thank you!
THis made me a fan of both you and Weyes Blood. This is my first time seeing this cover and It's already my favourite, wow.
This artwork plus album sound, is one of the most beautiful thing in art scenary of our time, and maybe all time. Awesome and inspiring job. Thank you!
