Freaky Illuminated Masks

Carl W. Heindl's Vitaminsforyou Shoot Channels Carnival

This promotional shoot by Carl W. Heindl for Vitaminsforyou is a delightfully dark series that primarily takes place outdoors. In a number of the shots, the bandmates don simple black Zorro eye masks as well as larger beaked Carnivalesque ones.

It's the final shot of Carl W. Heindl's Vitaminsforyou series that haunts me the most, however, so I've used this photo to kick off the gallery above. With eerie blue lights emitting from the musician's beaked mask, he looks almost possessed!
