These album covers span several decades and provide an insight to the history of experimental photography. From Missy Elliots digital photoshopping taking an afro futurist influence, to Korn's macabre ghost photography, we can see the diversity of Non-Traditional Photography and it's ability to communicate the unreal, and the impossible. Much like the artists themselves , the artworks aim to take the viewer to another world, one of impossibility.
