The scissor sharpener at work in his mobile sharpening shop, on site at a customer's premises.
Concentrated, he watches the blade on the rapidly rotating sharpening stone.
The man works in a van with the doors open as the petrol generator, which provides electricity, spews its exhaust fumes behind him in the van.
Against the cold, he has his jacket on and a cap. Actually, because of the noise from the aggregate, he should also wear hearing protection.
This man comes to our door about biannually to sharpen the knives and scissors when needed. I liked the image of a craftsman and was allowed to photograph him.
It was difficult to get a good photo because the space in the van is tight and I had to stand in the doorway, so I was in my own light. Using an attachment flash, I flashed through the roof of the van and this photo was created.
