i was asked by a doom metal band to make them some photos. what are some good doom metal bands photo sets to get inspo? also what is the typical iconography for this style? like forest and mist and such?
>>
pls respond. and stop posting nigger rap.

You pretty much answered to yourself with that Sunn pic. I can't add anything more to this, you should figure it out by that pic alone.
>>
>>73752737
forest mist graves robes
>>
>>73752737
What kind of doom? Forests and mist are more black metal. Plains like in your pic seem more appropriate.
>>
>>73752737
Christian stuff
>>
>>73752737
Why don't you listen to their music and use your imagination to figure out what the imagery should be?
>>
>>73753147
mist is definitely more doom
>>
>>73752737
Graveyards, old statues, cheesy occult magic shit, goats,children, farms etc.
>>
>>73753358
not goats
>>
>>73752737
I take it the name of the band is something like Dopeweed Smoke Monster? Get a bong, put it in front of a gravestone at night, then have someone vape massive amounts of smoke over it.
>>
Make just serious, dark and depressed pics, woth some gothic in it, but without being emo nor gothic.
>>
it heavily depends on what kind of doom they play

Agree with you, OP should listen to their music first and see what is their main "theme" around their music
>>
>>73754481
there are two possible themes for doom metal

death and weed

Don't go forests and mist, just go for classic black and white band photo.

There should be doom metal about heavy machinery and industrial themes
>>
>>73754517
stating the obvious, but what a fucking rad photo

If there's a construction site near you I bet it would make some great photos. It really depends on what kind of doom they play though.
>>
>>73752737
It's hard to stick to the usual aesthetics of doom without copying someone. It's beaten to death already.
I suggest you gothic and occult iconography, 70s psychedelic rock aesthetics
also this: >>73754491
>>
>>73754585
it exists; it's a shitty bandcamp industrial doom project called Of.

And I also tried to make some at home but I have no guitar so I have to use shitty synth patches instead.
>>
>>73754491
you can still have sexual themes, "satanic rituals" theme and apocalyptic themes and other stuff that most metal is about. Saying Doom Metal is all about weed and drugs is untrue.
>>
>>73754585
>>73754603
Op should try these, or see if there is any brutalist architecture around that is in proximity.
>>
>>73754638
I didn't say it was all about weed and drugs, I said it was about death or weed
>>
>>73754644
>>73754603
>>73754585
only works if it's an industrial doom band

if it's not, it's false advertisement
>>
>>73752737
Don't look at any of them. Get inspiration from something completely different so it doesn't look like the same generic shit.

If you it's not especially dark, you could go for a groovier aesthetic like the cover of Earths Primitive And Deadly
>>
>>73752737
talk to the band??
>>
>>73753147
avant garde doom
>>
>>73753328
yeah thought of that, but also wanted to know the established imagery of the niche so i dont divert too much and give it a weird spin to them, these photos should be part of their next album art too.
>>
>>73754517
will use a film camera and very contrasty stock, might go this route.

>brutalist
pretty good call my man. since they label themselves as "avant garde" , it might cut it.
