10cc - Deceptive Bends - 1977
The front cover of Deceptive Bends, created by Hipgnosis, depicts an enigmatic scene in high-focus, with beautiful lighting: a diver on the jetty, holding a beautiful red dressed girl against a dramatic sky background.
For the original photoshoot the combined weight of the diving suit and the girl, proved too heavy for the person in the suit to stay in position long enough to take the required shots. A frame was made to support the arms of the diver. This had to be removed in the retouching.
In fact the front cover was a four part photoshoot which was combined later on:
the diver and girl, the jetty and two divers, the sea, the sky.
