My friend and former student Rachel Zamrazil cuts my hair.  We’ve talked about doing a project together for several months: making some photographs of Rachel and her clients to hang in her shop.  I was in for my semi-monthly haircut (too infrequent, I know) two weeks ago and suggested to Rachel that we make some photos of Rachel and her two colleagues, Krystle and Jessica, as well.   So I spent part of an afternoon last week at Rachel’s shop making photographs.

Here’s the proud owner of the shop, Rachel Zamrazil:

Krystle has been friends with Rachel for several years.  Krystle works at the shop as an esthetician.

Jessica has been working with Rachel for several months now and cuts hair as well.

To help get themselves and their clients through the long Illinois winter, Rachel had a beach scene set up in one of the rooms of the shop.  It was taken down by the next day but preserved thanks to the magic of photography and the Internet.

I’ll have more news about developments with Michael Gowin Photography and Zamrazil Studio soon…
