6. Scott Schuman – The Sartorialist
Scott Schuman of the Sartorialist is well known as the pioneer of street fashion photography. After leaving a well-paying fashion sales job to become a stay at home Dad, Schuman began taking daily walks around New York with a digital camera and capturing outfits he felt were interesting. He started the blog as a way to collect all of the photos, occasionally adding comments to his posts. Before long, the blog took off in a big way as the concept wasn’t something people had seen before at the time. Since then, his work has been featured in GQ and Interview magazine, he’s been commissioned to work for major brands such as DKNY and Crate and Barrel and his work is on permanent display in a museum in Tokyo. He’s released a photo book as well and does very well financially for himself indeed.
