Jeff Forney, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white photograph captures an interior scene inside a traditional barbershop. In the foreground, an elderly man sits in a barber chair wearing a protective black cape while a stylist cuts his hair. Further back, another person is seated in a chair while a woman cuts their hair. In the mid-ground, a young child with curly hair looks directly toward the camera with a gentle expression. The walls are covered with framed photographs and a small flag, adding to the authentic, lived-in atmosphere of the workspace. The lighting is bright overhead, casting clear reflections in the large mirror behind the subjects.
