There is a way to appear, and a way to disappear. To be 'seen' and then not to be ‘seen’.
The initial engagement I believe is a function of who you are and how you present yourself. What has always been key is the authentic interest in that moment and the person on whom you are dependent to acquiesce to be photographed. The agreement is not always overwhelming, and once there is an inclination to allow me into the personal space, one has to be observant and respectful, as if dancing on another's stage.
The barber shop in Khayelitsha comes from a series of shoots for someone who wanted to write a script for a series. When I met him I was working as a chaperone driving the director of a film project to the edit suite, where he worked. Having nothing much to do but wait I started up a conversation with him when he brought me my coffee. We got to chatting and I offered to shoot pictures for him that he could use for his proposal. We spent a day in Khayelitsha visiting all the barber shops that he frequented at one time or another.
