Nice work Bertus. I have a Cambo SCX, which combined with the tripod is fairly heavy, so it is primarily used in the studio. You've given me inspiration to take it on location, any useful tips?
 
A great idea for a series and I love the reflective double mirror image. Wonderful shot.
 
Thanks, Yes there are tips: The barber had a free day, and a special guest as model. I've used a 6x6 for the actionshots and 400 asa. I think 800 or higher would be better. The 4x5 works to slow, maybe with spotlights, but I was afraid for reflections with all that mirrors! And a shotlist is very usefull: which photos you want to make. And promise them beautiful photo prints!!!
 
Wonderful portrait! :D
 
Thanks for the advice, keep shooting!
 
Love old barbers shops, and this looks terrific! Great idea, so keep up the good work on these fading treasures.
