New York Fashion Week is a playground for a photographer. There are well dressed peopled buzzing around Lincoln Center, and more importantly, they are more than happy to have their photo taken.
These are just a few of the snaps I caught during week.
Street Style Fashion
Here are two of my latest street style fashion shots.
The first wasn’t planned, but after seeing this woman on the subway platform I couldn’t help but take the photo.
While walking in SoHo I saw this enormous dog laying next to it’s owner and it was one of those, “I can’t not take a photo of this” moments.
Shots from Around New York City
I’ve been doing a lot of street style fashion photography lately, partially for my fashion blog, and partially because I think it’s a ton of fun. This post highlights a few recent shots taken while walking around New York City.
New Camera and a Quick Self Portrait
When I bought my first SLR I opted for a medium grade body (Canon) and invested more in the way of lenses.
As my camera needs have grown I’ve been thinking about upgrading bodies, but honestly, the price to do so was pretty high, especially since I was looking at buying the Canon 5d Mark iii.
I bit the bullet and made the purchase over the weekend and while out tooling around I snapped this quick reflective self portrait. It’s what everyone does while walking down an empty Crosby Street in New York City, right?
Conan Junior
In addition to doing traditional model/actor shoots, I also do a lot of street style shooting for my fashion blog.
I took this photograph in Greenwich Village a few weeks back and the first thing that caught my eye was how these two guys seemed to have coordinated hats and jackets. But, at second glance, look at the guy on the right – doesn’t he look like a Conan Junior?
Two Shots in NYT Style Feature
The New York Times has street style feature they run online each week in the Style section.
Each week they have a different theme and allow readers to submit photos that match whatever the theme is. The times staff then picks the “best” and publishes them on the site.
I opted to submit a couple shots last week and they were included in the feature. How cool is that?! A screenshot of one of each can be seen below. And, if you’re wondering, the theme for the week was “flats” (as in, flat shoes).
Pro Model Encounter
I almost completely forgot to share this with you.
While in SoHo a while back I was snapping shots for Fashables street style photos, when I came across this girl wearing a great looking dress. And, she also happened to stand out from most females walking down the sidewalk.
So, as normal, I asked if I could take a few shots and afterwords we started chatting. She eventually told me that her name is Mathilde Frachon and that she is a model.
Well, everyone in NYC seems to be a model, but after consulting with Google I learned that Mathilde isn’t your average model. She’s a pro.
I give a better account of the experience over at Fashables, but thought I should also share the shots here. This experience is one of the many reasons I love street style photography… you never know who you are shooting.
Banana Republic
Run DMC
I snapped this shot at Union Square after walking up on a group of street dancers. This little girl stole the show.
