Ghana Lola
I saw this mask hung at my aunt's place in Israel. She told me she bought it in Ghana, and let me borrow it for a shoot.
Since the mask was more of a wall-hanging piece, Lola, the model, had to hold it with both of her hands.
Here she's standing during sunrise at the top of Ramon Crater; the world's largest erosion crater.
The final photograph that ended up as part of 'Naked with Masks' was photographed a day prior to this, in a different area of the desert, wearing a different mask.
April 14, 2015. Ramon Crater, Negev Desert, Israel.
