10cc Deceptive Bends 1977

 Kevin Godley and Lol Creme in the divers helmets, only they weren't. With the helmets on they were too far back and in heavy shadow to achieve a decent shot. They were shot seperately not in the helmets. The prints were cut to shape with a scalpel and the backing stripped away and the back edges sanded with flour paper. The outer edge was then darkened with paint on a Sable brush. Mounted in position with Columbia Cement. They were shot with a cast shadow across their faces and needed a slight airbrushing to make the shadows look authentic.
