The Sartorialist

Such a beautiful photo, the sky, the waves, the positioning, the focus, the saturation… but fashion-wise I don’t see anything special.

Chanel at the beach how luxe can you get?! Haha. Great action shot, sart.

my favourite

love asymmetry, hate brand names. great shot

I love this – the naturalness is beautiful and the chanel lends elegance. Fantastic colours in the scenery.

So poignantly Bondi!

bondi has never looked better, this shot is vibrant and reminds me of sydney’s warmth.. can’t believe she’s swimming in autumn hahaha :)

Nice shot!
Vibrant.
Makes me wish I was her..

Amazing pic! Looks like she’s racing against the waves.

Would have been better if her hair was free.

I love the drape of the swimsuit vs. the rigid grid of the buildings in the background. I feel this is a look for the very young and fit, and she totally pulls it off! Great pic to start the week! Jorge from WPB

Gorgeously almost cliched Australian. I love it.

the off the shoulder element is a refreshing yet feminine touch! certainly brings back summer days amidst the cold weather.

love the contrast in this shot!

leave it to you, scott, to find the one shot of a swimsuit-on-the-beach that’s haute Baywatch.

i love how her one-piece gives off almost a Rick Owens/drkshdw vibe…very cool contrast to the rest of the beachwear out there!

Great, athletic is in, no more smoking! (coming from an ex-smoker)

This reminds me a LOT of Narelle Autio – the saturation, the movement, and of course the setting.
One of my favourite photographers, check her out!

oh my god! it’s a landscape format!!!

Is this the same Sydney as the shot a couple of days ago, “Sydney Winter”? If so, either the bundled-up guy or the bathing beauty is exaggerating. I can imagine temperatures bouncing around, but not that much.

so very bondi! and such a beautiful blue sky…nothing beats sydney beaches!

Bondi beach, or how to be the new bond girl…

you are such a talented photographer! thank you, Scott!

Beautiful photograph… no, for reals!

Bravo,
J.T. Evans

not so much into the one shoulder, but liking the excess fabric, especially for swim.

sexual sportswear… ( by sebastien tellier)
that’s what i think when i see this image

“though i like the image, i think its very posed…”

Of course it’s posed: wouldn’t it be creepy if the Sartorialist hung out at beaches behind bushes?

A great image, I’d love to see the texture up close.

lovely….

Hot. Simply hot.

props for getting your feet wet on this one

Ah…so this was the beach shot you were talking about on Sunday night!! I love the crashing waves in the background and her facial expression. She seems unfazed by it all. Focused. Determined. Confident.

Totally different from your usual shots but it still has the elements of your distinct eye for beauty. It’s sexy without being too cheesy/cliched. Poetry in motion! There’s a wonderful story behind this guys. I can’t wait to read about the full story in your book.

Thank you for sharing your passion with us on Sunday night and almost every night.

I hope you and Ms G have a safe trip back to NYC and take all the great Oz memories with you when you leave.

that blue sky is so intense! great photo.

landscape shot instead of portrait??? whose picture is this???

I love that.

Great pic and great shirt :-)

Great pic… for some reason, I have the strange urge to watch Baywatch. And the urge to run in slow-mo at the beach. ;)

Wonderful!

horizontal photo!
I love the movement

omg, this photo is AMAZING!

I’m just wondering, but what is she wearing? Chanel, that’s for sure. But is it a swimsuit? Dress? Shirt? Whatever, I love the photo–the colors are so vibrant! Nicely done, Sartorialist!

Love,love this one. She looks like a mythical, Indian war goddess escaped from Poseidon’s lair. Love her jaw- line esp.

Ah ha the Sartorialist meets Baywatch or should that be Bondi Rescue

Look how peaceful she looks. Doesn’t have a care in the world.

Ok – time for an explanation of our weather. It seems you Northern Hemispherics are a little confused.

It is Autumn here.

It is cold on some days (about 62 F) and warmer on others (say, 72).

The ocean temperature, however, is warmer now than during most of Summer (66 F).

The beauty of Sydney in Autumn is that it’s possible to be in shearling ankle boots one day and sandals the next…

omg…
I LOVE BONDI
i miss OZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i guess i will be the first to say that i don’t like this photo.

the bathing suit doesn’t even fit well on her. it’s practically falling off her body.

there’s also no style to it. its a one strapped bathing suit. nothing special.

effortless beauty

BONDI BEACH!!! surfers paradise~this pic is full of action. keep it up =)

The photography is amazing. The Chanel thing is nothing special. Is is a wet t-shirt? Is it actual swimwear? I don’t care. She is pretty but so what?

i love how you and garance are both in australia. Both blogs are wonderful.

Iris

Oh please…didn’t you take a lot of pictures of us Melbournites?

I want more!

love the picture!

Great shot… did you go to Icebergs restaurant too (the backdrop)… its awesome food and view

Sart, i think this is one of your best photos ever – the composition, light, colours, textures are all superb. i also feel it has a very distinct photographic style that is more and more evident in your work. For me the background has retro overtones yet the subject is resolutely modern and vital. I love what she is wearing and how it falls and adheres to the body – it’s a great piece – but because the photo is taken by you it could just as easily be by The Gap as Chanel, it’s not the label that matters but how it’s worn , the attitude etc.

Hats:
What’s with the degrees F? I think there’s just one country that uses those… In Australia we use the global centigrade (celsius) system.

And my cool tip is, 16C = 61F. Just flip the digits.

really nice blog

Sublime !

Hi Sart! I just wanted to say thanks for visiting our beautiful city! Your photos really captured the spirit, energy and fashion of Sydney. It was such an honour to have you visit our country, and my hometown! Never thought I’d see photos of you snapping pics on George St!

Love Carla

ps. I think that this photo has a very Australian feel…it’s athletic, sunny and full of hard yakka (translation: hard work)!

Mamie Canem loves it !
Old-school Chanel is so cool.
And that girl is gorgeous.

Au revoir et bisous !

great shot!

james bond girl on the beach! love the mood

Amazing photo!

Zepequeña.

chanel a la plage… c’est parfait!

I love it.. I feel this picture cpatures everything you’re trying to convey from beautiful and stylish people to the Australian sterotypical lifestyle

my brother lives in sydney – he is my style guru – so funny to see the bondi beach club waving to me in the background – i can imagine all the hot folk in speedos watching this shoot take place. bondi is magical – enjoy ever second.
:)L

wow i love this photo.
She looks fantastic and hot in her black suit.
*thumb up* :))

it looks stagey…it would have been much stronger if you’d shot her standing still looking at camera (i.e. what you usually do) instead of trying to look like an action shot. also, the entire right hand side of the shot isn’t interesting enough to take up all that room.

the single-strap look gets my mind going… after that jog it’s even easier to get the suit off and get down to basics. :)

Great shot !!!

gorgeous girl. gorgeous set. gorgeous shot.

gorgeous, and i love the sense of movement. but how did this shot happen?? where’s she coming from? going to? were you running too? so many possible questions and answers for this shot.

/written after reading Mighty Mig’s and w.edwin’s comments/

why do you no longer share the stories behind your photographs on the blog? your commentary and insight were the main reasons i read this everyday. while your photography alone is stunning, i miss the stories that made it interesting and personal and more than just a gallery for your photographs.

(and @SallyO: it says Chanel on the shirt/suit/thing… it took me a while to see it too)

OH MY GOD HANNAH LOOK AT YOUR FAN CLUB!! ahahaha good photo anyways, you are killing it!!

I want to suck her tits. Beautiful

good do exercise every day…it’s good habit…
