Dangerous life! On the first shot, the barber seems to enjoy his job a lot while on the second one, he seems very focused.
Well seen, you had an excellent point of view.

Thanks, Francois. The lens was no more than a foot or so from the action.

A close shave, indeed!

A true professional. Even your presence didn't cause his razor to slip.
A great pair of shots.

True. And perhaps the client couldn't see the threat that loomed behind him. But the barber had a steady hand.

(Or if he didn't, I'm sure Rajan would have shown us a photo of the bucket of blood on the floor...   ;)  )

Barbers in India are highly skilled and wield their instruments with precision. I told them to continue doing their work as if I wasn't around.
