Reflected Face in Hull Barbershop Mirror

Cool, diffuse light from a heavy overcast sky washes over the reflection of a man's face in a framed mirror. The setting is a barbershop near Kingston upon Hull, where the dry season leaves the air still. Soft window light grazes the cheekbones and forehead, revealing the texture of skin and the faint stubble along the jawline. In the foreground, out-of-focus shapes create a soft bokeh that frames the sharp reflection. The mirror surface shows the attentive stillness of the moment, with no movement disturbing the glass. A thin line of reflected shadow falls across the collar, at the base of the image in the quiet before sunrise.
