• Hey! Nice shot! You catched the atmosphere of the place!I like this kind of portraits, where the subject is in his "work area". Regards

• Lovely B&W and the low angle takes in so much of the place – it is a wonderful piece of framing because you did not point the camera directly at the barber – it is as if he is just one of the fixtures of the place no more important than the chair for example – Beautifully done!

• wow, you should give the barber dude a copy of this for his wall... just awesome!
  Elaine- @ 2008-12-13 02:52:25
• Really a strong environmental portrait, and you can really tell he loves his place there and everything in it.

• Lovely Black and white the tones in this are wonderful. There's an old style barbers at the end of my road it's great, perhaps I should get a picture there.

• Fantastic portrait. Your exposure is spot on as I like all the tones within the shadows. Of course, your choice of composition is very nice as well. You've captured a real sense of pride here.

• Love the BW processing and the angle. Looks like a shot from out of the past. Excellently composed and framed, outstanding job!

• This is a great example of a "people in their work environment" portrait. Well done.
  Sabine @ 2008-12-13 12:09:07
• Very nice b&w, and I love how sharp it is too.

• I've always thought it would be cool to fix up a loft. Your space looks like a nice one. I love this greyscale portrait of Henry. His shop is classic. His chair is something to be so proud of...something that should go into a museum if he ever decides to retire. It's wonderful to see him still actively pursuing what he must love. Nice post.

• Great tones, low perspective, and composition. Nice portrait work.
  Sean @ 2008-12-13 21:11:17
• Nice shot, the black and white conversion is good!
  Chris Legg @ 2008-12-14 03:09:49
• it's like a repertory image, a BBC kind of find. amazing in each single detail.
  paolo @ 2008-12-14 04:22:34
• What a super interior shot! I like how much of it you've shown and how the barber is both part of the interior and is showing off his space.
  cat @ 2008-12-14 04:24:02
• Wow !!! Old school picture ! Great work
  Vink @ 2008-12-14 04:57:21
• This barber shop is really interesting : I like the mood…
  Calusarus @ 2008-12-14 14:54:47
• a great study of the man and his space. top shot.
  RHYS @ 2008-12-15 00:36:12
• There is a real timeless quality to this composition, and such detail. Superb in mono, a very fine portrait indeed
  EYES WIDE SHUT @ 2008-12-15 10:44:27
• I love this portrait! Henry looks so relaxed and confident!
  Arjan - PlasticDaisy @ 2008-12-15 13:36:19
• even got henry to pose for a shot. excellent.
  
  i think it's every photographers dream to shoot a barber shop.
  angie @ 2008-12-15 19:17:26
• He looks like a nice gentleman. I don't think he needs to fear AIDS, but sounds like he's studied it to make a decision to stop the shaves. Fantastic photograph.
  Rachael @ 2008-12-15 20:31:04
• Very nicely done
  terrorkitten @ 2008-12-16 11:36:15

  Joanna @ 2008-12-16 16:58:08
• Very nice shot! Good for a magazine or even a documentary book.
  LightningPaul @ 2008-12-17 09:39:58
• jeeps people love this.. i do too i think its just the simplicity of it.. and the amount of history that it holds. that chair is retro..

• Love the journalistic feel to this photo, It shines!
  Brian @ 2008-12-18 23:23:11
• The second time I'm passing here. I really love the shot :-)
  LightningPaul @ 2008-12-21 15:30:05
• Beautiful work, mate. I'd love to get into B&W portraiture. People doing what they love.
  Patrick @ 2008-12-22 16:07:44

  Luisa @ 2008-12-22 22:49:28
