Since this has become the unofficial week of menswear here on my blog, I figured why not cap it off with New York fashion week photo on Friday. When I exported this photo from Lightroom a few months ago I named it “Very Important Man” in haste, thinking to myself that I woldd go back and redact the filename once I had trawled through enough blogs to see who he is. Alas, I still have no name for this “very important man.” I’m sure he’s a famous fashion editor/buyer/designer. But I’m even more sure that my trusty readers will identify him for me… right guys?
There seems to be a definite trend amongst stylish men of wearing jackets that are just a tad bit too small. Is this really happening or is that pesky second X chromosome leading me to hallucinate?
The most important thing to possess as a street-style photographer? Why it’s the ability to make people smile, of course.
Check out Guerre’s awesome street-style blog Guerreisms, formerly Swagger 360.
Candice Lake is one of the world’s best street-style photographers and a former runway model. Her work is regularly featured in Australian and American Vogue. I first met her in February, when I photographed her as part of my first NBC mini-documentary video. In the bright red heels is Peony Lim, one of the chicest personal style bloggers out there. She has an international fanbase and counts many fashion-insiders as readers, and with good reason.
This photo is a perfect example of why I always carry my camera in hand – turned on – when I’m out shooting. Sometimes you have only a split second to catch the shot.
