Richard Nicholson Photography : Ali Barber
Ali's barber shop is the most popular asian barber shop in London's East End, with queues often running out onto the street. Ali, Mohsin, Vicky and Shehz, the four Pakistani barbers, work late into the night fashioning mohicans, shape-ups, and v-cuts for their predominantly Bengali clientele. In spring 2010 I set up a pop-up studio in the basement of Ali's shop and spent 6 weeks documenting a cross-section of his customers.
