Critique Welcomed Barber With A Beard

[Chris Dodkin]

He was a very jolly barber - had no problems with me snapping away as he cut the guys hair.

This was is Oceanside, which is a military town with a Marine base - hence the old school barbers shop

love it, just had a beard trim by an old school barber in Dundee .... only thing he's lacking is tattoos lol

 

[Kev Pugh]

Gotta love proper old school barbers, not that I been to one in years but they do tend to have lots of shiney things around

 

[Dave Green]

Nice shot and lovely tones.

Makes me wonder what's under that hat LOL.

 

[Pete Askew]

Cracking shot Chris and I love the composition. So, what were you in for. SB&S?

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Great shot...brings me back to a time long ago.

 

[Darren Turner]

that barbers shop is awesome, love the olde chairs.............well spotted chris

 

[Keith Hollister]

Cool image. Love the pork pie hat, but I hope he isn't close to being done with that guy's haircut - jeez, it looks terrible (or maybe I'm just too old to be hip)

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Great image Chris. Looking forward to seeing the rest?

Thanks Davie - brought back memories of being a kid, and going the the old school barbers shop with my dad (which I didn't enjoy apparently!)

Nice shot and lovely tones.

Thanks - Best not to ask I think Dave

Great shot...brings me back to a time long ago.

Thanks Glenn - me too - although I go to a poncy mens sports clips place these days

Cracking shot Chris and I love the composition. So, what were you in for. SB&S?

Thanks Pete - already had a trim so I was safe this time around

One of these days when I ask to take photos in a barbers shop, someone will say 'sure, if I can cut your hair'

Thanks Darren - love these places and also want to shoot in an old school laundromat at some point...

Cool image. Love the pork pie hat, but I hope he isn't close to being done with that guy's haircut - jeez, it looks terrible (or maybe I'm just too old to be hip)

Thanks Keith - not sure on the hairstyle - didn't hand around long enough to see the finished article!

Great image Chris. Looking forward to seeing the rest?

Thanks Julian - this was the best shot from the bunch

I felt rather rushed as I was clearly intruding on the poor guys haircut - need to relax more and shoot more options I think

One of these days when I ask to take photos in a barbers shop, someone will say 'sure, if I can cut your hair'

That's what happened to me when I took this photo, "Sure, as long as you try on a hat". I now own a leather top hat!

 

[Kev Pugh]

But Pete you had to buy a hat off this guy or you would had probably had nightmares and night terrors for a month if you hadn't as he would have put a spell on you, reminds of of some voodoo magic man lol

Nice teeth
