Overview

When the 'normal' is captured, it highlights the extraordinary.

Franck Bohbot quietly and cinematically captures the craft, character and sense of place in his barbershop series. This series showcases Franck's ability to elevate the everyday. Finding poetry in stillness and celebrating spaces that otherwise might pass by unnoticed.

What makes this series so effective is Bohbot's ability to hold space. The comps are clean and feel frozen in time, yet deeply lived-in. There’s also something gently anthropological about Cuts. It documents not just interiors, but identities. The small business owners and regulars who frequent these chairs. Without needing to shout, the series speaks of community, heritage, and pride in one’s tools and trade.

In a world rushing toward the slick and disposable, Bohbot’s photographs remind us to slow down and look again. To honour the beautiful stillness of spaces that carry story, gesture and time.
