This project can rightly be called spontaneous. And it began with the purchase of masks. In addition to the classic white, I liked the steampunk-style black. After the purchase, they waited in the box.
One day my friend Dmitry, a model from Samara, wrote to me. He came to Moscow for a couple of days and we decided to work. That's when I remembered about the masks. The idea to shoot a male portrait in the style of the Phantom of the Opera was great. I quickly booked a studio, contacted the videographer and makeup artist and began to prepare.
A couple of days before the shooting, I realized that the story without the main character would be incomplete and boring. Therefore, I quickly advertised on the social network that we were looking for a girl for the role of Kristina Dae. One girl responded and came up completely. But alas, she stopped responding to messages and we continued the search. Tatiana, an aspiring actress, responded. 
I rented a dress for Tatiana without fitting, and it turned out to be great. Therefore, we stabbed him on her back with pins, which were periodically removed.
I was worried about how the models would work together, but they joined the process very organically.
You can see the result for yourself. I think everything turned out even better than planned.
