NYC Streetstyle – Joanna Hillman at NYFW

February 20, 2012

Just look how this girl pulled her look together. All this (almost) simple pieces for a relaxed look. I like the shades in her hair with light blond color on the roots to finish with dark blond at the end. The Lady Gagaesque glasses also bring a little bit of mystery to it. Oh and I can see myself in them! Awesome!

NYC Streetstyle – British Look at NYFW

February 20, 2012

When I saw this girl at the Lincoln Center, I could not stop thinking about a certain British Princess. They look similar physically, not to mention the style. It is somehow interesting how a single accessorie can pull a look together. For example, if you take out that gorgeous hat, I am not sure people would have noticed her that much. A lesson she is giving us: you don’t need a Prince to look like a Princess. Fashion will do!

My First Take at Streetstyle Photography in New York

February 19, 2012


I have always been intrigued by photography. I love looking at portraits and “moments of life” pictures but I have always been a bit shy to try to take some myself. So far I have been practicing with landscape and architectural pictures – and New York is definitely the place to be for that! 

This past Fashion Week was my first try in shooting random people in the streets and I am glad I did it. At first, I went to the Lincoln Center by curiosity, saying to myself: “I’ll stay an hour just to look”. I ended up spending four hours in the cold, and going back as much as I could. One shot after another, I became more involved and excited. There is something special about Fashion Week: most of the people going to runway shows dress to impress and to be taken in pictures. They are very approachable and willing to collaborate with the camera. 

As the person behind the camera, it was a real pleasure to have the opportunity to explore another type of photography. My training continues and I am confident enough to say that I discovered a new passion in shooting all types of people. I will surely continue to ask people for a shot in the streets. In the meantime, Fashion Week might be over in New York but I still have a lot of good street-style pictures to share with you.
