The Sartorialist: The man behind the lense

12Apr11

Scott Schumann, otherwise know as The Sartorialist, is world-renowned for his street style photography and blog.

For anyone who’s ever plucked up the courage and taken part in a bit of street photography themselves, you’ll know that it’s ruddy nerve-wrecking, stopping a super stylish person in the street and asking them if you can take their picture.

Sometimes you get that look that tells you, in no uncertain terms, that this person is way too used to people checking them out and they’re not too fussed about adhering to social niceties with little-old-you. These moments are often closely followed by an encounter with an all together nicer human being. One who is just plain chuffed to meet you and happy that you like their outfit.

But hey, Scott’s a pro and who wouldn’t want their photo taken by him. This incredibly cool short documentary from Intel takes us behind the lense to meet the man behind the camera. It really is very interesting to see him in action and I love that his eye roams from both the trendy young things to the builder, in his big builder’s boots!
