Description

Captured by photographer Paw Gissel for Holiday Magazine's Villa Gloria project, this documentary-style editorial photograph depicts a young Black man receiving a haircut outdoors. The subject holds a red-trimmed handheld mirror to observe his hairline while a barber uses black electric hair clippers to style his hair. Dressed in a red athletic tank top paired with a beaded necklace, he is illuminated by natural daylight against a weathered wooden background.
