Imogen Woodland for '(not) Naked with Masks' by Ben Hopper
Imogen Woodland
This photograph of my friend and collaborator Imogen was taken at one of my favourite places in London, Wick Woodland - a beautiful strange forest patch 15 minutes walk from my London studio in Hackney Wick.
I spent many afternoons strolling around there when taking breaks from my studio.
It was also an obvious photo shoot location when I didn’t have other options.
The mask was hand-made by my actress neighbour Paula Videniece who let me borrow it for the project.
The photo was taken on a very cold winter afternoon in 2015.
I didn’t use any of the photos from this session in the main project.
