The barber...

[lenslizard]

So, in my town we have an authentic barber, and he let me take some portraits. I used my popup flash bounce technique with a reflector instead of a wall, and the other side was lit by an open window. Would like some comments on how it turned out with the lighting and with colors and exposure levels. Anything really is welcome. Thanks!

Hi,
Great shot of a great character. I have it in mind to shoot at a barber shop that I use. The chairs have hardly changed since they were 1st invented, and I think it'd be great to shoot the barber at work with some environmental elements of his shop included. B&W all the way. Guess what I'm saying is I'd like to see where this gentleman is and what is around him too.

I really like this shot. I think the light is right on and the colors are very fresh(?) and vibrant. But it would have taken me a while to figure out that he is the barber and that was the reason or idea behind this picture if you wouldn't have told us so. I hope this makes sense...
