The Tailor

Mr. Demetriades is one of those local crafters who preserve the appearance and charm of old Nicosia.

The Tailor

On my question if I could make a portrait Mr. Demetriades asked to remove his bandage for a portrait:

"There was a little accident. Let it stay away."

This is a very cinematic place. It even looks staged as if it were a decoration for a movie from the 70s. And Mr. Demetriades behaves precisely how a movie would describe a Tailor pedantic, to a significant extent, obsessed with precision and order.

He asked me where I was from and for what purpose I was making such images after I made a couple of shots. Then added: "Excuse me for my poor English. I didn't finish school. I started working at my 13th."
