Shala Monroque

Shala Eyes Open Crop RS

I snagged this photo of fashion icon, Vogue regular, and blogger Shala Monroque after the Cushnie Et Ochs show at Milk Studios. I believe there was some type of issue with her transportation, and this photo is of her waiting for everything to be sorted out. I didn’t want to bother her since she seemed really stressed out about the mishap. After waiting for her to hang up her phone call I took three quick photos of her sitting on the railing like this and walked away. The last thing I ever want to do is cross the line from street-style photographer into a paparazzi. I’m sure some day I’ll get to say hello to her.

In the end, I think this photo is much more beautiful than a posed shot. I’m really falling in love with candid photography.

  1. simply beautiful – both the subject and the composition.

  2. Perfect Miu Miu outfit!!!

  3. I'm loving all of your candid shots, too!

  4. I did yearbook in high school, and there is something so relaxed and natural when you capture your subject in action. I personally hate posing for pixs, it's so awkward, if you ever see me on the street just capture me in the moment.
