Randal Ford, Photographer, San Francisco

Description

This interior photograph captures a vintage barber shop scene centered around a client seated in a striped cape facing a large mirror. A smiling barber stands directly behind the client, gesturing with one hand while looking toward him in the reflection. The foreground shows the back of the seated client and the arm of another individual framing the shot from the right. The counter holds barber supplies including blue liquid jars, grooming tools, and vintage styling mannequin heads with styled hair on the left. The walls feature framed pictures, a striped barber pole sign, and illuminated vanity lights flanking the mirror. The composition uses clever mirror reflections to show the interaction between the barber and client from multiple perspectives.
