Andrea Kerbuski of the fashion blog Blonde Bedhead is one of my favorite people to photograph. She’s a super cool chick and I love just hanging out with her as well. You might remember that she’s one of the very few people… make that the only person who I let photograph me for my blog when I want to do a personal outfit post. She’s an expert photographer behind the lens, although this ultra-talented woman makes her living as a digital advertising account executive. To make a long story short, Andrea kicks ass at life.
This photo is one of my many candid photos from New York Fashion Week. I have no idea who she is, I just loved her classic American look: white button-down shirt, dark denim jeans (cuffed no less), and black patent leather oxford shoes. Even though this look references the 1950s, it’s wholly modern and quintessentially her, despite the simplicity. This is the essence of true style.
For years I’ve admired candid streetstyle photography and consider it the highest level of the art form. The stakes are obviously much higher because there’s the risk of missing the shot. With posed photography, unless you’re a complete amateur it’s nearly impossible to mess up the photo if you understand the fundamentals of lighting and composition.
Check this photo out on True Religion’s new Tumblr, Unstitched.
You may remember that I first met Christine Cameron of My Style Pill back in August. We were both flown out to Los Angeles for the Vogue presentation at the Gap 1969 denim design headquarters in West Pico.
