Fresh cut at the barbers

13 September 2025

Portrait of a man reflected in a mirror, receiving a fade haircut from a barber.

Contributors note: "This photograph was taken inside a barbershop at The Tannery, a stylish retail center in Christchurch featuring a glass atrium, boutique shops, and restaurants with live music. The image captures a moment of everyday life, showing a diverse community in action. In the scene, alongside a Māori customer, a Malaysian Chinese person is also present, reflecting the multicultural fabric of Ōtautahi-Christchurch. This space highlights how community interactions take place in local businesses, contributing to the evolving character of our city."
