Special Location for a new haircut Photo

Photographer’s Note

A nice scenery at Hua Lam Phong Railway Station in Bangkok. There was a group of hairdressers with their teacher (the man with the green shirt) giving a new haircut to the people.

I added another shot where you can see the students for haircut in a row doing their job at the same place.

You get all these pictures from Hua Lampong, Nino, it is within walking distance of my home and I never get any.It shows how the visitor often sees with fresh eyes what he resident misses.These are very colorful images of Bangkok daily life. regards kevin

Hallo Nino. Friseure sind für Photographen ein ganz eigenständiges, weltweites Thema. Diese Haarkünstler sind Meister der Kommunikation. Sie arbeiten in modernen Salons ebenso wie in der freien Natur. In Deinem Photo wird eine neue Variante gezeigt. Meister und Lehrling behandeln einen Kunden. Beachtlich ist der rote und fast klinisch wirkende Mundschutz. Das Photo ist eine wundervolle Studie über diesen Berufsstand. Wirklich originell und lehrreich. Viele Grüße, Wolfgang.

A barber in a railway station and wearing a red mask it something that we do not see everyday or better saying, every year! And so close to the train. It seams that they catch the por customers just after they leave the train. I had two barbers in my gallery. This Lisbon barber is in a typical barber shop and the one in Singapore was an outdoor barber.
I like your photo very much.

Hi Nino,
A fascinating human interest shot. The scene looks so incongruous - the man having his hair cut looks like he's about to board the train, and one would think that the student barber was afraid of being exposed to some disease, given his face mask. The lighting, hues and tones are all nicely blending in good light. Nicely captured, Nino. I like it.

Hi Nino,
A fine stree(station, rather!)scene with the train as a BG adding strange and exotic touch. Good angle, colors and sharpness! Nice framing and lay out of your subjects

Hi Nino!
Für uns Europäer ungewöhnlich aber in Asien gibts halt Dienstleistung wo gerade Platz ist.In den Seitenstrassen Yangons habe ich einige openair Ohrenputzer gesehen.Toller Kontrast zwischen den 3 bunt gekleideten Herren und dem silber glänzenden waggon.Ein schönes daylifebild.
Gruß,LEo

A pretty unexpected place for haircut. Strange, even... Then, an useful post even if it's not your best.
