The Sartorialist

If I could pick any photography blog as my favorite, I would have to name The Sartorialist (thesartorialist.blogspot.com).

The Sartorialist, named by Time Magazine as one of their "Top 100 Design Influencers," is a fashion photographer. The Sartorialist (as he calls himself) travels the world in search of local and cultural street fashion, and posts his shots on his blog. His experience in the fashion business leaves him well-equipped to  this task. Along with each picture, he writes a quick commentary about the picture and, on occasion, the fashion that is pictured in it.
The reason why I love The Sartorialist has to be the fact that his subjects seem so real and down-to-earth. Half of the time, the subjects in his portraits are not even looking at the camera, almost as if the camera does not even exist. The majority of his subjects do not look like high-fashion supermodels, either; they are simply people on the street who happen to be wearing great clothes. Whether or not they realize their fashion choices are excellent is never known by the Sartorialist's audience. The Sartorialist is simply there to take a picture, and that is what I think is beautiful about his blog.
