    Recently, I have been seeing a lot of photographs of this form, behind the scenes, during the actual act, make up time etc. It’s a new found love for this art. This is one of the new ones where we able to actually see real man behind the character getting dressed up. Amazing form this.

    Great shot and thanks for sharing.
