I spend hours on end looking at photographs and reviewing submissions, some images jump out at me for personal reasons. Years ago I worked in hairdressing, lots of good memories, like practicing lots of hairstyles on mannequin’s heads, everyone getting ready for nights out, and then shutting up the shop on a Saturday night. Dan’s photo of a hairdresser’s shop front taken on Swansea high street takes me right back. I love the colors, the old ceiling, and the wicker lights that look like chandeliers creating a glitter and glam vibe, all that pink!
Dan’s image is popping with mood and atmosphere.
CJ: Why do you take photos, Dan?
DM: Taking photos started for me after my late Father died, it felt like a way to connect with him because he’d always have a camera in hand, but shooting felt natural and people always seemed interested in the sort of thing I’d decided to stop and photograph, the things that stood out to me that many people would pass by.
