Kristyna Archer Hangs Out at the Barbershop

Posted on

Jay Mallari Legends Barbershop

Kristyna Archer‘s latest project  began as a portrait shoot, but evolved into considerably more. The project was originally a feature for Smashd involving a still portrait of well-known barber, Jay R Mallari, and the famous Legends Barbershop featured in the 2002 film. As she spent time there, Kristyna became enthralled with the camaraderie and sense of community, as well as the serious sneakers walking in and out the door, and decided to capture it all on film. The results is a 00 :50 video with audio featuring Jay R as he defines the special sense of community and brotherhood that exists at Legends and the importance of a good haircut.
