Description
This image is worked up from a photoshoot I did several years ago. I always wanted to manipulate the image to highlight the snake and the models expression. There is a certain dignity in the pose and his clothing and the snake harken back to a primitive time. Why the mask you ask? I don't know. He just wanted to wear it I guess. Let me know if you like the finishing of this piece. Originally I was thinking of 'inking' in a section of the piece to achieve a sort of unfinished feel to it, but once I saw how the image was developing I dropped this idea.
