Handal was fascinated with the way these men who wear female masks \u201ccreate multi-layered alter egos and assume fictional characters while documenting their role playing with photographs and sharing stories on community blogs.\u201d He wanted to photograph the strange and kinky fetish world, but he found that the only way he could gain access was to don a mask himself!<\/p>\n<p>He first met his subjects at Rubber Doll World Rendezvous, an annual conference for female maskers. But he wanted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slate.com\/blogs\/behold\/2016\/04\/21\/daniel_handal_s_documents_the_members_of_the_female_masking_fetish_community.html\">photograph the female maskers in a more natural setting<\/a> where the role-play and exhibition aspects of the fetish culture could truly be expressed. His documentary style approach\u2014while wearing a female mask himself\u2014allowed him to capture the action while actually participating in fetish play as well. \u201cHis camera made him stand out, but because he was also in costume, he was also part of the subculture\u201d reports Slate. Now that the photo series is complete, Handal wants people to see the complexity of the female maskers, but also not to take anything too seriously\u2014\u201cIt\u2019s role playing, meant to be wicked fun,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for some \u201cwicked fun\u201d yourself?
