Andy Wallis Photography's photostream

This is Stephen,

His business card refers to him as 'Barber Extraordiniare' he works out of Briddocks Barbershop on Upper Parliment Street.

I walked passed the shop today and glanced in, the shop was empty but Stephen. i loved the colour on the walls and he really stood out in his enviroment. I new i needed to shoot this portrait. so i stopped, put my 50 lens on the camera and walked in.

His shop looked just like a good gentlemans barber should look big mirrors, mice big leather chairs and all the equipment laid out like it was his pride and joy.

The till was a very old ornate pewter affair, almost appeared carved. i wish id have taken a shot of it. i will go back i think.

He told me that only last week he had students in the shop purely to take photographs of the interior, including the till.

I took the shot with his reflection in his mirror, he smiled at first but i asked if he minded not doing that, as you can see he obliged.

i left as his first client arrived and he allowed me to leave astack of business cards too.

This is Alan,

He holds a billboard in nottingham.
he works for a company who raise awarness of PPI's payment protection insurance.

he rides bikes and has about 7 mountain bikes. he is very passionate about ethical banking practises. he was also a model.

i shot him this way to get some green from the background of the pub to compliment his frames. i was suprised to see that the window also picks up the colour of his hair.

Thanks Alan.... Learnt alot!
