[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a first photo from a series of pictures I intend to post that deals with vocation. In our modern world many of these professions seem to perform a disapearing act. It is a little sad, as many of these people that had a respected and dignified status in society, can no longer compete with the cheaper industrial products that replace the fruits of their handwork.
It may seem that the barber as a profession has survived, though there is a significant difference between the traditional barber and the modern hair stylist.

Hi Tibi, wonderful composition of daily life, very well done.
Merry Christmas and Happy new year, Ciao Silvio

Hi Tibi,
The colors you have are fantastically natural. It's a good attempt on the subject matter. However, I find the composition abit lacking as I can't really tell that the guy is a barber, as the focus is more on the old guy in the white shirt just sitting there. Do you have one with a better zoom on the barber and his client ?

  • Great
