In the maze-like streets of Bhaktapur, one shop caught my eye. Its jewel-toned colors stood out brightly against the muted buildings around it, pulling me toward its doorway. Stepping closer felt like crossing into another time—where nostalgia lingered in the air and traditions held fast.

When experimenting with presentation, we discovered that a black-and-white background made the colors radiate even more, transforming the image into something reminiscent of a Richard Estes painting. Bhaktapur Barber Shop became both photograph and homage—a piece where modern vision intersects with timeless craftsmanship.
