The talented make up artist Anastasia Vanelli and I created the masks project. The 2013 Limassol carnival was in the next 2 weeks. While we were working on the Black Swan project the idea came to my mind. Why not create a series of photos inspired by the carnival? The creative make-up was focused only in the eyes area, as this was the main idea “masks”.

I have used my camera Canon EOS550D for this photoshoot. I had the valuable help of the photographer Louis Loizides. He helped me a lot setting up the lights of the scene. Three looks were created. The butterfly mask, the star mask and the lace mask.
