Black and white photography by Scott Schuman

I though it would be interesting to gather a few black and white shots by The Sartorialist. He captures something different from any other street style photographer. An emotion, a state of mind, the personal style. Self-expression. “I rarely shoot a look where I love all the elements. I don’t need to love the whole look: I just need to identify the one or two elements that mean something to me, and then capture it in the romantic way I see it.” I couldn’t relate more to his words. He remains my favourite. The first photo is perfection. But aren’t they all beautiful?

    This post … sigh!
    Scott is an endless source of inspiration. I particularly love his men on bicycle shots.

    PS. I’m loving your new Pinterest board, be prepared for some serious repinning!

    What can I say? He is simply brilliant. There aren’t many like him – his photos always tell a story and you know how much I love the mix of two. 🙂

    They are all lovely… I do like the man on the bike – it’s gotta be in Italy somewhere! How cool is he! Definitely captures the contrasts well. :)x

    Hello Ada,
    Hope you had a great weekend.
    Lovely pictures, although Bill Cunningham, to me, is the pioneer of street style.
