The beards of nottingham

Today I went beard hunting with a camera, sharp wit, and plenty of lies about why I wanted to take these peoples portraits

Fig 1. first photograph, this man, orignially from delhi, sporting a impressive moutashe.



Fig 2 & 3.Dave and Matt (respectively) of travelling man comic shop. Notice that although Daves is the fuller beard,


both have a similar style and probable influence…


Fig 4. A Lithuanian buisinessman. Very classy with his trimmed and controlled, yet not styled wearing of the beard. Could very easily go down the ‘unshaven alcoholic’ route, a fine balance very well executed.



Fig 5. Sporting the latest in French style



Fig 6. This man wears a practical beard with pride, if he was ever to fall over his chin would be ultimately protected from all injury



Fig 7. This is truly the beard of happiness



Fig 8. sporting the full nautical beard. Word is nautical beards are next seasons new black



Fig 9. Bollocks to the beard, look at all those stripes! Oh yeah and this guy is a Graphic Designer turned Comedian and is doing a gig at the Glo bar on the 22nd.



In all seriousness thanks to everyone who let me accost them in the street and take their photo!
