Scott Schuman (1 of 3)

Schuman's skill of photographing models, comes from a great understanding of his subject. In the interview "the Making of the Sartorialist" Schuman says himself, "I have a real understanding of clothes, how they work and how they should fit." This understanding of fashion, crosses over into his photography. Consistently in Schuman's photographs, he captures and matches the style of the model with the context of the photograph. In his photos, he also displays a mood, which a certain evokes. In this photo, Schuman is photographing a older man wearing a tan coat. In my opinion, the style of this older man evokes a happy but professional feeling. The setting that Schuman photographed in somewhat matches the man's coat. This blending in effect may say something about the man's casual clothing.

  1. Jack, your first two posts are much stronger than your third. I like how you engage with specifics here.
