‘Unquiet Skin’ ⁣ ⁣ “The lasting effects of having a skin condition, aside from the immediate, are wounds that last past the healing stages. ⁣ ⁣ I wanted to magnify and normalise different skin types whilst exploring the physical and emotional pain that comes with it. It’s important to understand that their condition is a part of them, but that it doesn’t necessarily define them.” ⁣ ⁣ Full article @dazedbeauty ⁣ ⁣ @myatopicskin @kiwiho @sosowalk ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Director, Editor: Patrick Taylor @paddyking ⁣⁣ DOP: Adam Singodia @adamsingodia ⁣⁣ Camera Assistant: James Huthwaite @iameshuth ⁣⁣ First Assistant Director: Alfie Jackson @alfieleighjackson ⁣⁣ Composer: Johnny Lillis⁣⁣ Sound Design, Mix: Ines Adriana @_inesadriana_ ⁣⁣ Colourist: Myles Bevan, Time Based Arts @m.y.l.e.s @timebasedarts ⁣⁣ Colour Producer: Dan Kreeger, Time Based Arts @thekreeger @timebasedarts ⁣⁣ VO Recording: Mike Chubb, PRL Studio ⁣⁣ Film and Processing: Kodak London @kodak_shootfilm ⁣⁣ @kodak Film Scan: Digital Orchard @digital_orchard
