Guy Street Fashion

Believe it or not, I am now in Japan! Got here a few days ago and will be staying until October. It`s almost unbearably humid here, but nothing a glass of cold beer can`t cure. :)

I`m staying at a guesthouse in Yokohama, which is the city right next to Tokyo. You never hear about Yokohama street fashion, but there are a lot of really stylish people here as well. The trick is getting them to stop and pose for you…

I don`t speak much Japanese, but my girlfriend A-chan does. She came out with me yesterday and bravely approached total strangers in an effort to get some street fashion pics.

We managed to get this friendly guy here to stop and show us his Japan style.

Update: I posted the recently revealed models from the Jovovich-Hawk for Target Go international. You can find the pictures right after the text. Enjoy!

I’ve always been a fan of classic navy and bohemian dresses in summertime. The much awaited Jovovich-Hawk Collection for Target is all about bohemian chic, it seems.

The Collection is supposed to hit the stores debut march. It’s all bohemian chic as these scans recently spread on the internet announce it. I was afraid it’s gonna be something pulled out of the 5th element or the Resident Evil-Milla Jovovich but I was completely wrong! It looks far better than Mango by the Cruz Sisters.
Let’s hope the rest of the collection it’s at least as good-looking as these images here.

Summer Street FashionCall me precious, but these pictures really don’t get to me! They’re not bad, in a street fashion way, but ordinary nevertheless. I’m fond of the printed dress resembling the blouse shown in the first picture-glimpse of the collection, the white dress with flowers but further on I say it’s a nice collection, just nice. (oh, and in case you were wondering, the boots come from Steve Madden)

Street Fashion Photography

Being into fashion, particularly street fashion, most of us are taking photos of ourselves or friends, and not all of us are getting the photos we want. Getting tips from just any photography websites is fine, but what we do in street photography is a little different than how others might photograph flowers, so I thought it would be good to have a reference for us non traditional photographers.There’s really no “one right way” to take street fashion photos, but there is a big gap between, “no way”,”that works” and “awesome!”. Many photography “rules” will make your photography look like everyone elses, stale, “clean” and commercial. So I’ve compiled a few different ideas for everyone from Lomo-sheik to semi-studio. You don’t have to be pro to take cool photos. You just need the right environment, light and the willingness to waste film (or disk space).
