Katharina Bonzel, Barberism - The Barbers of Canberra (Portrait (2019))

This project seeks to document the growing sub-culture of barbers in Canberra. Barbering has become very popular again as barbers reflect a rising demand for artisanship and a return to good old-fashioned craftsmanship. They effortlessly mesh the old with the new – classic (men’s) haircuts and beard trims done with traditional techniques, but in an environment that stylishly combines the old (e.g. barber’s chairs) with the new (e.g. graffiti decorated interiors, music, etc).
