Setshot is proud to share its artwork collaboration with Adelaide hip hop artist, Hasthi, for his new extended play (EP), The Prototype. The cover art depicts Hasthi in a sarong, a traditional piece of clothing from his native Sri Lanka, with the picture edited in a thermogram style that depicts heat. The brightness and apparent intensity of Hasthi is juxtaposed with a black backdrop and white text titles.
Setshot was engaged by Hasthi to create art that was representative of his Sri Lankan background and edited with a thermogram effect. Using the concept presented by Hasthi, Callum Haslam, Setshot director who served as photographer and editor for the project, shot numerous pictures of Hasthi in a sarong against a plain light background. Hasthi selected his preferred shot and it was edited to reach the end result after extensive consultation.
Hasthi previously collaborated with Haslam and Setshot on the artwork of his 2022 single "Streets" featuring Eskatology and Native Emcee.
The Prototype was released on streaming services on 4 November 2023.
