Masks are like stencils.
Street artists:
1) Make a stencil by cutting holes in a sheet of plastic film.
2) Put the stencil on a wall.
3) Spray it with paint.
The paint goes where the artist wanted it to go—due to the stencil.
Your "paint" can go where you want it to go on a photograph—with a mask.
Below, the photographer is "spaying" a Levels adjustment layer on her photograph.
The Levels is going through the white part of the mask
White reveals.
The levels isn't going through the black part of the mask.
Black conceals.
