On the street...Black hat

There’s something I find queerly mystical and almost obscure about this subject…

On the street...minimal

The simple, clean lines of this outfit really place great emphasis on the elongated silhouette. The symmetrically ripped jeans at the knee and the hair also add a subtle contrast and irregularity to the otherwise minimal aesthetic.

On the street...private disposition

This has to be one of my favourite looks I’ve photographed so far; it reflects on my taste of understated  albeit still cool aesthetic for menswear. It’s also very characteristic; the tattoos, the strong, raw face and his general presence bestow my adoration for it. However my initial draw to photograph this shot was largely for the beauty of it; by this I mean it wasn’t as much as the look but more about the positioning and posture of the subject. Alongside the stirring backdrop, he managed to create an intimate, quiet moment around himself. Entirely disengaged from the public view or motion. Thus, by placing myself in parallel arrangement, I attempted to capture what I envisioned of this moment, and hence, of the subject; a private disposition.  

On the street...Avant-Garde

   

 This photo really ceases to capture the extensive detail of the construction and tailoring of the garments;  they resemble individual pieces of art. The elusive contours and details of the skirt, the distinct cuffs of the silk blouse, the contrasting boots and the raw steel frames pertain more to notions of architecture, sculpture and other semblances to visual art in which one appreciates solely the visual and intellectual content, as opposed the overused term of “fashion”.

On the street...Black silhouette

I have always, almost innately, been drawn to all-black looks, both personally as well as in moments when I’m on the street. It can be executed simplistically, if abiding by conventional silhouettes and proportions. Thus, it can be quite restricted. Albeit, I think the key differentiation between the archetypical black look and that of an innovative, distinctive one is the execution of silhouette, proportions, prints and material.  In the above case, it’s the proportions; the oversized sleeveless jacket adds an individual touch. That and the shoes are great too.
