I love this portrait of the people of Haiti it shows life to me. Its how they live to survive the economy in Haiti by doing what they love to do. The smile on the guy face in the barber shop shed is so inviting.
This artist Roberto Stephenson was born in Roma, Italy but he also lived in New York, London and now lives in Port au Prince (Haiti). I feel the artist took this portrait to show part of Haiti's beauty of levels of economics activity remain prominent throughout the city, especially among people selling goods and services on the streets. Roberto Stephenson use precise shooting and lighting techniques for this portrait and most of his work.
Thanks for bringing him to my attention. His use of a panoramic format, slow shutter speed and disjointed, overlapping images conveys the reality of poverty in Haiti in a way that a straight photograph couldn't.
