Red Telephone Box Holly

This photograph was taken at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, on a cold 2016 winter day. The mask was created out of 2 layers of skin tone tights. The park was nearby to my studio and had fantastic spots for such photographs, but it also had a lot of people walking around. We found this half-cut British red telephone box and thought it’d be funny to take some photos with it. We had to be really fast, every moment someone passed by.

The final photograph that ended up as part of 'Naked with Masks' was photographed at the exact same spot, 3 minutes later.

November 11, 2016. Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London, UK.
