At the end of the outgoing year, I made a photoshoot for the Irkutsk barbershop Borodach. The guys turned out to be very friendly, and most importantly patient — the shooting lasted six hours (although taking into account the equipment settings and breaks, we actually shot less, of course). This is my favorite image from this photoshoot.

Nice. Would have loved if the scissors (and comb) were more in the foreground ... as it would better pointed out the profession ;)
Actually I did several photos like you suggest but in the end I liked overall expression and pose on this one. But good point though ;)
