Richard Wadey, Photographer, London

Description

This close-up vertical image captures a traditional barber shop scene in London, photographed by Richard Wadey. The frame focuses tightly on the back of a client's neck, which is generously covered in white shaving foam. A barber's tattooed hands carefully guide a straight razor along the neckline to achieve a clean shave. The client wears a black t-shirt, a thin silver chain necklace, and a patterned pink barber cape draped over their shoulders. The barber wears a silver chain bracelet and beaded wrist accessory. The lighting is warm and directional, highlighting the textures of the skin, lather, and metal blade while creating soft shadows in the background.
