Amazing does not do justice in terms of describing this past weekend. BarberCon and the International Beauty Show both took place in one weekend, in of the greatest cities in the world, New York, New York. I found myself once again blending (hair pun) the two hobbies that I love ever so much together during the last couple of days. That's both hair as well as photography. Its funny that I say hobbies, when in actuality, its so surreal to see how the things I did/do for fun at first, are more and more becoming a career/profession. Do what you love and love what you do.
This past weekend I was more than privileged to meet some of the biggest hair stylists, barbers, brands, people in the Hair, Beauty and Image industry. On top of meeting them, even further I was able to photograph them as well. (That's the icing on the cake if you ask me.) These people come from all over the world. Anywhere as close as the surrounding states of New York, all the way from California, as well as Canada even from London, United Kingdom too! Seeing all this talent has only motivated me more to further my dreams, pursue my passion and continue doing the things I love for the people I love.
So here are some photos from the weekend! If you are in any of these photos and would like them sent to you, please reach out to me at Stephen.Esguerra@gmail.com / @StephenEsguerra. If you are reading this and you don't know too much about the Hair industry, I hope you can catch an inside glimpse of this whole other culture and world.
