There's nothing like a self-assignment on a theme or a subject to spark creativity. Last week, I saw a woman in a beautiful, breezy hat that, well, tipped itself to summer.:) It captured the season perfectly, and I thought it would be fun to make a "Summer Style" gallery.
I wanted it to be in the spirit of my favorite street-fashion photograper, Garance Doré, whose impromptu style has a spontaneous freshness that conveys the joy of discovery; of finding someone who turns your head or makes you smile. Fashion ads are too often about exclusivity or have an air of aloofness. Street-fashion photography has an inviting charm -- like the complicity of friends showing and sharing their latest find.
I might revisit the theme before the summer ends, and I'd love to hear your thoughts.
