I want to throw a big thank you to co-authors G. Bruce Boyer and Maria Cooper Janis, Wes Del Val of powerHouse Books, and Steven of Leffot for the fantastic book signing last night. Â As you’ll see in the photographs over the next couple of days we had a wonderfully diverse crowd. Preps, Vintage, Tailored, Femme Fatales…it was exactly the kind of party I love to attend, let alone host! Â Hopefully this only marks the beginning of a series of parties stretching into 2012 and beyond.
Tomorrow you will see a special series of portraits that I really enjoy, taken just outside the book signing. I hope this marks a new direction of photography at thesartorialist.com!

Such characters, all of them. The black and white shows the textures so beautifully…be it tweed or a mustache.

After hearing about this book, I decided to do some research regarding Mr. Cooper, and he’s a interesting fella for sure. I agree the B&W is amazing, every pic is so chic.

Looks like a party that I would want to attend too! Beautiful portraits, once again.
I have one question though, who is the extremely handsome man in the beard, button up shirt (chambray?) and roll-neck knit??
I think I love him. x

I don’t know a thing about photography, and yet the way you capture the personality of your subjects is so incredible to me. It’s like I’m watching 5 minutes in a 2 second shot.

Sweater vest and houndstooth is what I’m taking from these photos… I love the representation here. A marvelous display of style diversity. Do you think Garance will be inspired by your shot of the cropped cut in this batch? This woman’s crop suits her perfectly, so gorgeous!

Scott, I absolutely love these ‘impromptu’ spontaneous black and white portrait shots. The lighting is fabulous with the backgrounds fading to black in most cases, and you’ve captured the subjects’ candid expresssions beautifully. You could easily make an entire book of these lush images, and I do mean lush: even though they’re b&w they’re quality is rich and tender. Brava!!
Ciao, LindaB. x x

The beautiful blonde, 2nd pic , is the great niece of Margaret Hastings- the heroine of Lost in Shangri-La by Mitch Zuckoff.
If you know the book you will see the striking resemblance. She is also an intrepid adventuress!

Compare the beauty with the short hair, picture number two,with photos of Margaret Hastings, heroine of Lost in Shangri-La by Mitch Zuckoff. Coincidence! I don’t think so..her great niece and an intrepid adventuress in her own right.
