I initially stopped Sarah because I love how neon yellow and brown neutrals look together. It wasn’t until I began taking close-up photos that I realized that – to my surprise – she had dreadlocks! Aesthetically I adore dreadlocks. I was also excited, as a street-style photographer, to be able to present a photo of a woman with locked hair who isn’t wearing the stereotypical hippie clothing. This photo from Electric Forest Festival is framed and hanging in the hallway in my house. That’s how much I love the way dreadlocks look.

I spotted Matt on LaSalle Street in the middle of the workday last week. I was on my way to help emcee an internal fashion show at the Chicago office of a large technology company. Thankfully I had my camera because men who dress this well are few and far between in Chicago. I love everything about Matt’s outfit from his fedora down to the interesting design of his oxfords. This is how channel Don Draper without looking costumey. I wish more men would take pride in their appearances. Honestly, It doesn’t take much for a man to look good. Great male style comes down to a winning combination of properly fitting clothes and smart details.
