WATCH: “Scars” by ANA

From their debut EP, The Art of Letting Go (Eclipse Records), symphonic metal band, ANA has released the haute couture video for “Scars.”

Directed by award-winning photographer Peter Coulson and Anna Khristenko says,

“We had a once in a lifetime opportunity to work with the amazing Peter Coulson. We needed one more music video and he happened to have some time between his busy schedule, which was truly a blessing. I have worked with Peter many times before, so we have developed very good chemistry and strong trust between us. On the other hand, it may have been a bit of a learning curve for my band, as Peter’s methods can be unorthodox. He was truly like no other director they’d ever worked with. Even though the subject matter may weigh heavy on the heart, the video is stunningly beautiful. The video was shot in black and white to represent the past. The effect of a black and white video also means that your eyes are not distracted by colors and makes you focus more on the performance and emotions. The message I want to bring across is that even in pain there is beauty to be found.” 

Peter adds,

“I just push buttons and allowed Anna and the band to do the rest.”
