Indians In Moscow Indians In Moscow 1984

 This was not a Hipgnosis design. A black and white shot of the girl wearing her underwear. By bleaching away dark areas and then with a Sable brush and watered down photo dye removing light areas to blend with the skintones so as to remove the underwear as the young lady did not wish to be shot in the nude. She was shot in the studio with misty effect and one or two leaves in her hair. The branches, leaves and bark were drawn on with amixture of photo dye and Gouache. The  roots round her feet and legs also drawn on. A copy print was made and then hand tinted.
