Scott Schuman

Contemporary Photographer: Scott Schuman

Birthday: Unable to find

Country/State of Residence: Born in Indiana, Graduate of Indiana University, he graduated with a degree in Apparel Merchandising. He was the director of a fashion showroom for years, and after leaving in 2005, he began carrying a camera around and studying photography.

Significance: Scott Schuman, also known as “The Sartorialist” is a street fashion photographer. His photography blog, “The Sartorialist” features people and places he sees as fashionable as he travels the world. He has become extremely popular as blogs have gained popularity covering fashion shows for Conde Naste Publications, for magazines like GQ.

Composition: Most of Scott’s pictures focus on a main person, blurring the background with clarity on the subject. Usually his objects are centered in the frame, posed, or in action. Lighting is also almost always in daylight or natural lighting.

Concept: Scott’s concept is to show different perspectives of fashion around the world. Some pictures are candid and some are posed, but all are of people in their “natural environment”

My Opinion: In my opinion, I love the sensation that his blog and his style of photography has created. His blog started in 2005 and as blogs have become more popular, so has his style of street photography. Photographers like Tommy Ton and Yvan Rodic with their blogs “Jak and Jil” and “Facehunter”
