With permission. Inside.

Ask local hairdressers and barbers if you can photograph inside. The mirrors, the conversation, the transformation.

How to shoot it: This is a relationship before it is a photograph, so become a regular or ask on a quiet weekday, not a heaving Saturday. Once you are welcome, shoot the mirrors for two angles at once, the hands at work, the cape, the before and after. Warm window light plus strip-lights means a wide aperture and a steadier hand. Get your own cut, it is the quickest way in.

The output: An intimate series that requires relationship-building to get right.
