Comment

There’s something special when you’re alone in a rainy night, you feel lonely because of your insecurities and blessed at the same time to be alive, that’s what inspired me for this portrait shoot. The mask represent the way we use to approaching the world, what we show to the others, people and situations when we’re not alone.

I look up to the camera without any masks, quite nudity and sincerity in front of the stormy nature, showing all my insecurities and for what I really am, for what I felt in that moment. I tried in the best way I could to capture the moment, my feelings and fears, to remind I have to be strong in every moment or situations of my life.
