Walking the streets of Calcutta, it struck me: 'Men here truly care about their facial hair, and many go so far as to trim it down to the essentials.' This photo series is dedicated to all my fellow moustache lovers.

The making of a Moustache:

Street photography in India honestly reignited my passion for photography as a whole. It’s been a long time since I worked on a photo project just for myself. Maybe, at some point, this series will take shape in a book.

Now that I’ve found my new passion – photographing moustaches – I’m always on the lookout for fresh opportunities. So, if you have a moustache or a hot moustache tip, I just might be up for taking your portrait.

I hope you had fun – I know I did.

Thanks Matt for inspiring this project.
