The Photographers...

Sunday, 10 July 2011

Let me introduce you to a very special species...

The "homo photographus" or more commonly referred to as the street style photographer! The best time to see them is during the fashion week season where they evolve in packs... Their guru is Scott Schuman, also known as The Sartorialist, but the real creator of their movement was Bill Cunningham... 

Standing outside the shows ready to shoot, their eyes are like fashion radars. At the slightest style alert they migrate to towards the object of their interest... Kneeling, bending, checking their finds on their digital weapons... And off they go to their next hunting destination!

We always look at the pictures but never think about the people behind them... That's why I started to observe my fellow companions outside the shows of Milan... This is what I recorded...

I love that you turned the camera on them! Did you notice each of them were equally stylish and belonged on the other side of the lens?! Funny, I was out shooting some flea market style today and a local magazine's blog shot me... fun to be on both sides for sure!
