Mysterious Masks (Patreon)

Marta, Frankfurt, 2006

This was my very first real nude shoot. I had rented an apartment in an old building in Frankfurt for this and finally found a great woman who I could photograph with masks that I had bought in Barcelona. Yes, why Barcelona and not Venice?

I just walked by this shop there and was fascinated by the hand-made masks. It wasn't too long ago that I saw the movie Eyes Wide Shut and I guess that served as an inspiration.

Marta has been an incredibly good model. As the saying goes? You never forget the first one.
