Stunning behind-the-scenes stills of music videos by Joyce Kim

Date
30 September 2014

Big thanks to Nathan and Jacob of Haw-Lin for their recent updates that have led to us finding the work of photographer Joyce Kim. Joyce’s photographs lead us tentatively by the hand behind the scenes of some remarkable music videos where our eyeballs are given VIP treatment and treated to perfect shots that are in such high-res that you can almost smell them. The grainy monochromatic photos taken during the making-of Earl Sweatshirt and Childish Gambino’s music videos are sublime, but we’d have to agree with Haw-Lin and say that the photos of Josh Homme with loads of Japanese businessmen for the hedonistic Smooth Sailing video are the very best. That shot of all the guys in suits falling asleep on each other in front of that security grate is beyond perfect.
