Busy Barber, a photo from West Bengal, East

Photographer's Note

I took this shot in a street where a barber is busy during hair cutting...I like his deep concentration during his job...the other lady at right is waiting for hair cutting of her son...

I like the frame...Hope you also like it :)

I like the composition and your point of view.
Characters stopped in the photo do not show what you're talking about, and I thought something else altogether. The cool thing is that you can add your own interpretation, and certainly will fit. Fits me to a more romantic mood here...

Hello Prasun,
An unusuall potrait i like the big black glasses give a theatrical sense to the men. Also BG the woman with the colourful clothes completes the excellent result.
Have a nice week,
Cheers,
Maria

Hello Prasun,
I like very much this slice of daily life, the combined portraits. The persons are very well placed in the cadre. I like the focus on the barber who in his turn is focused on his work. The woman's face is more agitated and adds intensity in the photo. It's like a picture from a film, a very interesting capture with lovely colours.
All the best, have a good week,
Ourania

Hello Prasun,
This is a well composed picture where the two faces balance each other very well. I like that the woman's face in the background is a bit blurred. While the barber looks concentrated the woman seems a bit worried. Doesn't she trust the barber to give her son a nice cut?
Regards,
Gert

سلام دوست من

نمای خوبی است از پرتره یک آدم و نمای تار پشت

نشان داده این مرد محکم حرفها دارد و زن نگران

این موضوع را بیشتر نشان میدهد

Hi Prasun,
You captured the concentration of this barber at work so very well! He doesn't seem to be bothered by the woman who probably has a hatd time waitin' for her turn. The DoF is vital here. Fascinating documentary work, I like it a lot !
Best regards,
Bert

Pozdrav.
Gospodin se posvetio svom poslu, sisanje ...
Dobar trenutak snimka berberina sa naocarima na pola nosa, lepa fotografija.
Dobra ostrina snimka naglasena na motivu, kontrast i prikaz, lepe boje.

Sve najbolje.

Bonjour Prasun,
Portrait parfaitement cadré et exposé, la profondeur de champ faible donne beaucoup de focus à l'avant plan et du relief. Comme dit dans la courte note, la concentration se remarque.
Regards.

Ciao Prasun, lovely daily life composition, beautiful portrit of busy barber, excellent clarity and wonderful light, very well done my friend, ciao Silvio

You have a real interest in people and their faces which I like very much. The concentration of the barber is clear but we wonder what is the lady thinking about...she's waiting, but her mind may be elsewhere.
Thought-provoking capture!
