My Photoreportage Across Barbers

2

ADVERTISEMENT

I am a street photographer and I live in Montreal.

I mostly do black & white photography

4 years ago i arrived in Montreal and I discovered the barber culture, the barber poles everywhere in the street with it blue, white and red line.

I am a girl I couldn’t come in. After months taking photo across the window i needed to get inside.

I terribly wanted to discover the culture, the tools, the barbers and their style.

Discover is across my photo-reportage.
