At the Barbers

Next to the gallery where our exhibition is running, there is a barbershop. I've been walking past, itching to take photos. Eventually deciding that the owner must think I was some mad lady peering in, I plucked up the courage to ask if I could take photos of him and his clients. He was more than agreeable, but then we had to find a customer who was also game. The first guy I asked was camera shy so I left them to it, but then the barber came running into the gallery to tell me had found a willing customer. I quickly shot a few off. I'm quite chuffed with the result and with my bravery LOL
Fantastic shot, Carole, and great models, all four!

Brilliant shot - I find incredibly difficult to ask permission and my family think it's rude to post shots of strangers (if they are close ups) without permission. I'm not sure I agree with them, but it always makes me hesitate in posting.

What a great shot, I am sure if you share with them, they are more than happy.

@christinav Me too Christina. I'm okay with it if they're out in a public place - street photography rules. But here, I had to ask as it was in a private building, and although the barbers were fine with it, I still had to ask their customers.

Ah but you got two! I absolutely love looking in Barber shop windows……we have one always so busy but I daren’t take a photo so good on you! Brave of you but it paid off!
I do not like the hairstyles these days. Our grandson in NZ has a terrible style….shaved up the sides….i say nothing! 🤣🤣
