Materials and Methods
Nikon D80 + 50mm F1.8 Nikkor + IR remote + 2 second timer so I could use both hands. Dark brown fabric hung in the background with tape. 88 shots to get the composition right. Black eye liner to draw the eyes and smile. It's been awhile since I last drew on myself for a photo; I forgot how hard drawing on uneven surfaces with my non-dominant hand was

Donning a mask is a depressing thing to do to oneself. I know. I've done it...
Instant fav.

I love this! Especially how the person's pressed their hands so hard against the face, it adds more to the emotion of the picture...
