It portrays your work perfectly, it's wonderful to have an insight into your thoughts about fashion. we usually only get the final result, so it's great to see all the thought process and work behind it!

This was a great video.

I love seeing how people work; it's always such an inspiration.

You are a true artist!

I like you even more now.

Charming snapshot in digital history.. Thank you for being curious!

Interesting video!

Great to see how you work… very inspiring!

What I love most about seeing how you work:

You use one lens in this documentary. Over the years of doing photography, I've reduced my equipment to one lens per camera, using the equivalent of a 35mm camera's 28-30mm range. You're right–creativity is often about simplicity, but exploiting it.

Fantastic.

I love the way it is filmed, so complementary with your work.

i love seeing your process – less intrusive than I thought it would be – keep up the good work

Great to see Michael giving you the haircut!

It was truly inspirational to see you behind-the-scenes.

we are blessed to see.. mmh.

It's amazing to see the pictures come to life.
Truly inspiring for artists, designers, or anyone looking for a creative outlet.

This documentation is perfect!
Can't wait to see your photos from Seoul :))

Scott, it's really great to see how you work! You are a true idol and inspiration to all of us, wannabe photographers! :) Don't you need an assistant??? :D

Awsome! You are such an inspiration! Keep on!

Really nice, "the man behind the camera," indeed

You're so inspiring…love the video post

http://lipstickboudoir.blogspot.com/

I think it's so wonderful that you get paid well for having a visual life! I must admit a {wee} bit of jealousy!

I'm also living my visual life and being paid – just not well!

but really congrats on all your success it's wonderful to come here each day and be inspired.

I just fell a little bit in love with you. I hope to encounter you on the street someday.

You do open the whole world of fashion to us … thanks from Indiana!

amo tu trabajo!!! es único!!
its very inspiring

xx

love the way this short film was put together, and the sense of you that we get through it – you seem like a kind, thoughtful person deeply curious about the world. thanks for your work.

That is really nice !
Amaizing and it makes you so real. ;)

"This is the man behind the camera, so this is the genius"

Great job !

Thank you for doing this, Scott. It was interesting to see you in action. Big fan.. Congratulations on all of your success!

flawless.
Love your work
perfection

Loved de video.
And Yes, I am sure, in 100 years, people will be looking at your photos, and saying ¡¡¡ WOW !!! Just like we do now.

u r so a w e s o m e.

Great video and very informative on your process for shooting.

bravissimo!! i love the video :)

For over three years I have watched your work evolve, it has been in the background for what seems a long time.

It is so much more than fashion for me now, and more influential than any other blog I have seen.

I've always wanted to be stopped by you in the street. You're an inspiration to us all!

Don't stop. Not yet. And thank you.

Love it!!

.ebk.

Excellent. You inspire even an old man like myself.

very cool! really looking forward to snaps from Korea!

http://www.missmollyfashions.blogspot.com

Woow, this video just shows how pure your work is! I loved it.

Thank you for giving me a peek into your world. You remind me of a modern Singer-Sargent.

This was so interesting, thanks for posting it. Someone earlier asked about the photographer you had mentioned, Jacques Henri Lartigue (a favorite of mine) for the anonymous commenter that asked about that. It was great to get a glimpse into how you work, thanks!

Nicely done. Video seems well suited to your temperament.

Loved it. Thank you for sharing.

In Seoul the area around the Arts University > HONGIK UNIVERSITY
http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/SH/SH_EN_7_4.jsp?cid=630937

Also in that same area make sure you visit "LOOP" it's an alternative art space, already worth going because of the architecture but also is one of the best for contemporary art shows in Seoul + really interesting people in the area

(click on the information tab to see pix and map to get there)

I lived in Korea for 1.5 years so I'm looking forward to your images! Good luck with everything!

Magnificent!!! It's so generous of you to give us your view of photography. I love the way, like a ethnologist, you look at people dress, walk, move. A beautiful testimony of life.

I love it! I always wondered
how this process works… thanks for the inspiration!! I hope you can come to Brazil!!!

Beautiful.

I love what you said about refining one's vision. I've enjoyed your blog for a few years past, but I will appreciate it even more now, having gained a better understanding of how and why you do this.

Thanks for letting us get a fascinating glimpse into your thought process!

It was very nice, and inspiring, to get a glimpse of your everyday life. Thank you for sharing.

Inspiration, all around. thank so much!

Well done film. Congrats.

Joe

This is really great, and I'm so pleased with your soothing voice! :)

Ah, I woke up this morning to this video. This is fantastic!

I like how you reference your Midwestern background. It is true, from my experience, being from the center of the United States leads one to appreciate a range of perspectives.

That is what I love about your blog – the range of styles and people.

Fantastic! I fell in love with your eyes. What they see, and their gorgeous blue color!

I hope someday you'll come to Philadelphia!

I forgot to mention the people from Platoon Berlin opened a space in Seoul > maybe interesting checking it out too:

http://www.kunsthalle.com

Very cool and interesting perspective. I don't think many people think in context when we look at photos from 1910 it makes you wonder what people will say about us in another 100 years or so. Anyway wish I had the balls to go take random photos of people like that I ride on the red line in LA and I always see some amazing visuals and people. Maybe someday.

This is fantastic, I love your work, Scott!

Thank you Scott for sharing with us and for giving us an insight into what you do! Truly inspirational!

That was really nice to see :)

I love the reaction of the first woman you stopped when you said who you were. 'Oh!' Lovely.

I wish you'd filmed the little sweetie teenie boy though! :D

Really interesting to see how you do your great work!

Lovely documentary, beautifully filmed, scored and explored. I have enjoyed reading these comments so much as well. How amazing to think that you are inspiring people all over the world, every single day. And all because you were determined to stick to your vision of what you thought you could do.

I also really appreciated the Lartigue reference. It made a solid click as to why your blog always seemed much more than about fashion and more about the people that you have captured…

bravo! bravo!

Congrats, beautifuly shot film that TELLS the story!

I enjoy this documentary so much. Now I know how you work in a city -jungle with sharp and warm eyes. you give me such an immense inspiration of style. I really want to say "thank you, Mr. Schumann!"

And Finally!!!
You are in Seoul!!!
Welcome to Korea!!!
I'm dying to see you in the street of my hometown. Is there any possibility that you would post the spot where you would be? it would be great for your fans.

I do hope that you will have wonderful time here.

Your photos are so beautiful! It was fun to see this little glimpse into the man behind the camera.
Thanks for continuing to share lovely images with us!

I absolutely want a barber shop, like the one you went, in my country!! Wow!….

Holy moly! I loved it!

Getting a glimpse of you doing what you do was so cool. The whole thing was really great, and inspiring.
Plus, you're easy on the eyes ;)

visit heyrecklessmind.blogspot

I got chills watching this, so well done! Thank you! You are such an inspiration!

http://www.annawithlove.com

Scott — finally, insight into the inspiration behind the camera. Kudos!

I never go a day without checking your blog. Thanks.

I had a great time watching the video! It's such an inspiration. I just bought my first Canon (350D) Camera and I'm in love with it already, although I'm still figuring out how everything works. Your life is like some sort of dream, just wander around and photograph people!

How about visiting Holland some day?

Fabulous. So handsome – so revealing.

This is a fantastic piece and it was so wonderful to see you in action. I never thought about this but you live your life as a keen observer of human life. What a great job!

http://www.greeneggsandglam.blogspot.com

Fantastic!

New blog, new blogger.

Thanks.

You are really inspiring! I remember finding The Sartorialist a few years ago and it opened my eyes to fashion and style from an entirely different standpoint. It has made my day-to-day life much more beautiful.

Thank you!

Lovely. I so enjoy your site and your photos. It is nice to have the cameras turned every once in a while!

I loved your comment about the digital park bench. I live in the middle of Silicon Valley and, while there are many great things to be said for this area, when it comes to people watching it's not the same view one has sitting on the steps of the Met or having lunch in Paley Park or strolling my old neighborhood when I lived in Manhattan for a few years — or people watching in Paris or London or … Even the light is different in each of those places. Thanks for sharing the view through your lens day after day –

If you find time, try the street vendors that sell food in Seoul as well as the pasteries (Paris Baguette). Enjoy your time in my motherland!

sanghees.blogspot.com

I love it, I hope to be shot by you one day.

love that you do what you do.
please keep doing it.

i like your work!

Thank you so much for offering all of us the illusion and hope of being part of the world by doing the things we love.

Awesome, that's a great documentary of you!

I was curious if you walked around with a little pad of model releases, but no? Within months of leaving NYC a few yrs ago I realized how much I missed people watching and found your site…and to see the video as well as your shots is to be reminded how the light dances in the streets of NYC. As for doing the art, the work – "allowing yourself to fall in love a little bit every day" is brilliant. Thanks again Scott.

@ Kevin Denney
My guess (I have the same eyeglasses!) He bought it in a small shop in Milan called "Laboratorio Ottico Marchesi" in Via Solferino (they do not have a website, sigh).

Scott do you confirm?

Fede

PS: nice to see "Borotalco" is an international brand in Barbershops in NY ; )

Thanks for sharing this with us, your work is perfect and you are a real inspiration for us, the way you see life and things is very nice.
Please keep doing it in the same awesome way you always do.
Thanks Scott.

Ok…you're just my hero :)
Great video, inspirating talk…love you :)
Julie from France

What's this AD?

beautiful documentary- i love the way you speak about your passion for people its very inspiring

this was really beautiful. thank you for taking the time to capture moments.

Loved this look inside your world!

This is so beautiful and inspiring! Thank u so much for sharing your experience and you way off sight with us! and definitely so encouraging to!

We all believe in your ability and inspiration, but I was most struck by your courage to do what you do, the way you want. What an incredible film to an incredible visionary!

Cheers
DW

Thank you for taking time to capture the today…and what people will talk about 100 years from now. Like others, I find your work inspiring on so many levels, without even a hint of the mundane.

I found your blog by Garance Doré, and since I go every day!
I am French and not very good in English so I do not read all the time small text!
Good luck, your blog is very good in this whole "blogosphere"!

Wonderful video! Congratulations!

We want a feature length documentary!!!

I always wondered what type of person you were behind the lens. Visiting your blog often and experiencing a piece of you through your photographs builds a fascination for learning about the man who inspires. This Docu is well done.

Does anyone ever say 'no' to you requesting their photo taken?

http://www.amanda-wagner.com

that's amazing! it such a good idea to share with all your followers the way you stop people and aske them to be your subject for one second…I need to find the confidence with myself for doing this too.
what really made me happy is that now I know that I am not the only one who love watching people and everything goes around.
I love the sincerity with whom you work.

I check out your blog every single day – I am totally hooked! You are truly inspiring a lot of people to look at how we define fashion and to turn it upside down. A unique view of your visual life which I have enjoyed watching. Look forward to an equally inspiring 2011!
I wish you all the best, Giada

Great movie…great work…great inspirarion for us all!
Muitos parabéns! ;-)

lovely short

I love it
you are great
thank you for the
always inspiring
blog
hopefully you read
all your comments?

very inspiring movie!
xx, http://fashionmugging.blogspot.com

Wonderful, insightful film..beautifully shot. You are such an inspiration to me to pursue what I am passionate about in my life! Much love

That was just a beautiful video. So great.

Somehow I imagined Scott was acquainted with most of the people that he photographed. From this documentary I have learned this is not so. He truly approach strangers on the street and gets his shot in a few seconds. The photos are beautiful and especially impressive since they are taken on the fly.

SOOOOOOO COOOOOLLLLLL … come to Santiago Chile PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!

Bravo! I loved the part when your subject bashfully apologized for not recognizing you. You are so well-spoken!

And bravo to the people who put this film together– it was very thoughfully shot and edited. Love the soundtrack!

The documentary was very informative and gives me a little more insight into how you make this whole thing work. This blog is so interesting because you really care about what you're doing.

Thanks for sharing this. This is also a very nice tribute to all those who follow your blog and wonder who's the person behind the lens.THANK YOU!

Your Sartorialist is one blog I check everyday. There are many other blogs in this era but the pictures you take reflect people's personalities so beautifully and honestly. I can feel your passion. Thank you for your work and keep us feel as if we were traveling the world with you!

We love the sartioralist!! A big kiss from Spain♥

Very inspiring! :)

This made my day :) You're such an inspiration. Looking forward to continue exploring the world through your eyes.

Nille.xx

So inspiring! Thanks for sharing.

What a great film.
Your words made me realise that sometimes I loose myself in the thing I am doing (studying at the moment)and forget to leading a visual life, which takes away all the fun. I will keep my eyes more open from now on.

this was so interesting to watch. you are truly a remarkable artist.

I can't stop telling people about how much I love your blog – when I do, I don't always have the language to put to my fascination. Here you've provided the words, and now I'm even more mesmerized. Thank you for what you do, and another vast thanks to those responsible for making this documentary – to capture the capture-er is a beautiful thing.

"the whole world is open to you now" so true..take me as a example a girl from egypt..people who know a very little bit about fashion not like milan or london or NYC ..but the internet made me see the whole diffrent world that going there..like i can set for 12 hour every day doing nothing but seeing picture of people around the world..how they dress..what going on in the fashion world,even that's not what i study in school but that's what i really want to be when i finish ..don't know how hehe…how they pick a little pieces(like the taped boots)and make it a very big thing in my eyes and appreciate the little thing even more than before,,so im really thankful for you and all the people like you around the world,you are really inspiring person for me.

I love how at the 2:40 mark, the lady was kind of a snob and once Scott mentioned his blog site her attitude changed.

This was awesome. Such an inspiration. Thank you for motivating me to pursue photography. I just bought my first DSLR! Can't wait to see the photos from Seoul.

having lived in Korea for a long time I never really liked the direction that Korean fashion was taking (just personally); the way clothes are put together is often same old same old. But hope you can dig out the hidden gems! Very much looking forward to pics!

Plus, as some other people have commented, I really hope you can make time to go sight seeing and see/document traditional clothing!

:)

Congrats! I love how you make fashion accessible. Your photos are always beautiful.

a lovely little film.

i commend your unceasing curiosity about the visual world and the great work that results.

cheers.

to finally see your work in action is amazing! makes me appreciate and love you and your blog even more.
and nice to see your stylish self on the blog for a change!

Amazing

WHAT A DELIGHT TO HEAR YOU SPEAK OF YOUR WORK… lOVE lOVE lOVE IT.

Very cool.

What a tremendous gift you give us by taking a peek into your visual life. That was…you are extraordinarily inspiring in such a quiet, elegant way. Thank you…

Scott,
we love your blog, and for us it's an honour that you share with us the inspiration you find around the world. Love to see so many looks in action. Who needs to wait for next month's Vogue or Marie Claire?
Ciao from Bella & Grace

i really enjoyed that. i thought the filming and production of the video really did your work justice so congrats to the Visibly Smart team.
keep the photos coming – they are a pleasure to behold.
best of luck

(i hope its ok if i put a link to this video on my blog: http://www.derek-rose.com/news)

This video was fascinating, I've always wondered how you went about selecting the people you shoot!

Just to confirm, although I'm almost positive that I am correct, those are OP Riley frames you're wearing right?

WoW What great work!. Would love to see you in Australia more often, particularly in Melbourne.

wow.. it's great!

and I also expect your snap pictures in Korea!!

welcome:)

Gr8 video and its so simple and detailed of what u really do. i had no idea thats how u get to that perfect picture…

Hi Scott,

This is great. Your work is amazing and if I ever come across you one day, it would be a pleasure to shake your hand!

Julie

lovely.

I watched it without sound. Beautiful.

You're such an inspiration.

Every single morning when I wake up the first thing I do is to check your website even before mine.
You give me inspiration to do what I do and love what I photograph.
Photography came to me.. and I am enjoying every single minute of it.
Hopefully one day I will get to meet you and photograph you and post on my blog

Kisses from Australia
Lee x

I love your work so much! Watching me made me love it even more. Thank you for the inspiration. It would be a dream to have you ask to take a photo of me…someday?! Congrats on the documentary! xo

You look gorgeous! Amazing to see how you work. Love the video. When are you coming to Sweden??

Love

Great to see you working! Keep it up! Your are really such an inspiration! Thank you!

Just discovered your blog and it's amazing. I like your photography and the insights you bring to them.

Thanks for lettings us behind the scenes.

Welcome to Seoul!

Can't wait to see the photos of Korean taken by you!!!

i would love to just see you snap away in this frigid street weather of seoul (if that's what you're here in Seoul for). please please just hint us what your plans are! :)

thanks Beeni!

Just really started getting into your site. Great work. Gives me a gateway to the creativity of reality through your eyes/lens I wish I could have for myself.
Would you mind sharing what camera you use? The pictures are amazing.
Thanks

Great video. I adore your blog it's a great inspiration for me.
Love Ivana

you have been such a source of inspiration for me and this video takes it to a whole new level. I was feeling down and out, lacking inspiration and motivation to pick up my camera. then I watched this video and a riptide of colours, contrast, composition, and ideals pulled me in. it was what I needed to start off the new year. thank you for sharing. btw you're quite handsome, lucky lucky garance. ha.

Hey, thank you for sharing that with us today. It was a really neat look into your process/existence/professional life.

Welcome to Korea!!!! My country is so many clothes store and most people have much interest about fashion..I'm proud of my country. I hope you meet fatastic people in Korea like people on your blog..And you're the idol of my boy-friend..he wish he meet you accidently in some Seoul's street especially such as Hognik University. I hope you have so wonderful trip~^^

I love it! So inspiring. Maybe one day you'll find me on the streets of NYC… A girl can dream!

the film is very charming , the mood and everything.
I am among others who has the sartorialist on my bookmark menu.
Living in Bangkok , your blog makes me feel it's such a small world

Saowanee

Sartorialist is very special place to me.
I'm so happy.
thank you:)

nice to see the face behind the camera.

Waw, I love it ! Pretty cool guy and reflects this blog and the photographies. :-) Keep doing it like this , you're the best ! :))

Scott, you are such an inspiration. Thank you for making the most of your beautiful blog and truly expressing yourself and showing us how you see the world. Thank you for opening my eyes. cheers! Laura of LuxuryInteriors
http://www.laurabielecki.com/blog/

I've always wondered how you work; how you go about taking pictures of random people on the street. This was a great (albeit little) window into your world. Truly inspiring.

"It has been said that art is a tryst, for in the joy of it maker and beholder meet." ~Kojiro Tomita

Scott
As I watched this short film I immediately thought back to your interview with Elvis Mitchell on "The Treatment". Then, just as now, I thought "well here's a fellow that has built up a following but still continues to do this task with a rare combination of enthusiasm, charm and a healthy does of appreciation for where he is in life"

I can honestly say that I enjoy your work probably even more now that I have "seen" the man behind the lens

Good Work

Well done…and well edited. You are an inspiration and what keeps me going. Thanks for sharing!!! See you during the next fashion week. Bizous!!

That was a little digital classroom experience for me!
Thank you for sharing!

Amazing mini documentary! We finally get to see you work in action. I love the whole process of you walking around town & scouting for potential subjects.
Thank you for allowing all of us to sit in your wonderful digital park bench after all these years!
Cheers!

you are so hot!!!!

awesome vid all the way from the philippines

love it! nicely done. Feels great to watch. Just perect.

very nice, congratulations! your commenting about reacting to things makes perfect sense with your pictures…

wonderful video of how your blog is made….thank you !!

lovely.

A very nice film. Love the title. I really enjoy reading your blog and appreciate the time you put into it. It's inspired me to try to do something a little unusual with my outfits every day (even though I know you'll never be in my town to photograph people!). You helped me to realize that style belongs to everyone. Thanks for all your work!

What a beautiful short film! You'll always be one of my topmost favorites Mr. Schuman.

it is incredible to see the behind scenes of how you get your photographs everyday. very inspirational. i really like what you said about those old photographs and the perspective that people may have years from now on the photos you take now. thank you for giving us wonderful things to look at. i cannot wait to see your pictures from seoul. the korean people are gorgeous!

Scott,

So nice to know that sometimes people just eventually fall into what they were meant to do. I love how you just follow your gut.

You are so very talented, and have a keen eye. You see a world that others may not. Thanks for sharing your world with us.

Thank you for sharing! I agree with making the most out of little details.

Another long-time follower who rarely comments chiming in to say thank you for sharing this with us. It was lovely to see how you work and how you found your place in your art form. Love the analogy of the chef with one pan and five ingredients; boiling down creative work to simplicity often yields such wonderful results.

Love

This video makes me love your blog even more!! you're a legend! =)

you are amazing..I luv yr blog. it is like future history unfolding before my eyes and it has yr name on it….THANK YOU. u always make my day

Scott–amazing video, amazing life, amazing talent, amazing BLUE EYES! I REALLY dig the new hair style…makes you look younger and sexier…if that were even possible. Lucky Garance! :)

alway fabulous and always inspiring
i look forward to so much more
thank you for sharing your work

it's so wonderfully done ! You such an inspiration Mr.Sartorialist. Even for us in Sri Lanka

thanks for sharing with us this video about you and your thought process… it's really inspiring to see what others do and how they approach it…

this is a fantastic video and i just LOVE what you are doing! it's great to go out and capture "our time" in fashion!!

Enamorada…

I love your way of work, so simple.
An inspiration for my life

Un beso desde Galicia (España)

brilliant & splendid

What makes you stand out among all bloggers today (and I am one myself) is that your passion and charisma just go through your lens…to your every post.

The Sartorialist was the first blog I ever followed. A few hundred blogrolls later, you're still my absolute favorite.

Thank you for sharing your very visual life.

All the best,

RM

Watching this video is truly riveting. I believe your work is so inspirational. I love seeing how you go about each day in order to capture the photographs which speak to you. Thanks for posting!

BRAVO! Such a great vision, such an impessive man!
Hope to have you in İstanbul ASAP.

beautifully said

Artful.

Just as Anonymous 12:27 said, I too stop and think before leaving my house every morning: "Would this outfit make Scott stop and ask to take my picture?" Beautiful work. We love it.

Ana

really liked your quote about 'digital park bench' and what your blog would mean to readers in 100 years.. thanks.

Your views behind those photos are inspiring. I am not a new fan but I should have known about your blog when I was in high school.

love it!

You not only capture the moment in film, you capture the language of it, "digital park bench." An expressive comment that says it all!

Beautiful documentary!. What an eye to transform daily scenes into memorable moments that reflects so much about ourselves as humans beings. Marta B.

Made my morning. Thank you

http://takeittogo.wordpress.com/

wow.
you're the coolest man.
i love your taste, and the way you photograph.

my little wish is to be photographed by you one day.
..just when i'm walking down the street.

i'm nowhere near you now, but it doesn't mean i won't be in the future.

oh well, you are a great artist.
excellent work my friend.

PEACE AND LOVE.
p.s. this was the 335 comment.

Just got done watching the documentary, its great to finally see and hear the man behind these great fashion photos. Kudos.

Inspiring.
Sartorialist.
Capturing the moments.

What a great doco. Keep up the inspiring followings of people doing their thing wherever you go…

I consider myself terrible when it comes to dressing, maybe that's why I love your work so much – gives me insight to peoples' ideas and courage I lack when I put something on so usually I just put on anything I've got at the moment.
The film really made me smile.
Hope it's not too much to say that you are very handsome.

Sooul is very cold. Take care of yourself. Bye.

I am fascinated with this documentary. I am not a photographer , I do this thing where I pretend my eyes are a camera and when I see something that I "fall in love with" I wink as if to snap a shot. I am so appreciative that you are a photographer and take real pictures. Beautiful pictures.

the film is so cool
and good to see your work process

welcome to South Korea!

great blog.
as a korean, hope to see your point of view of Korea soon.

i am truly inspired by your blog.

This film inspired me to continue my photographic research. Thank you very much!

beautiful!

Remarkable and inspirational.
Aside from your amazing eye, you are quite eloquent as well.

Thank you for sharing!

You see that's what i mean:
I was actually kinda thinking that the guy with the duct-taped boots was this artist who wanted to make a fashion statement or something, but really it was just some random guy working in construction.
In the video I saw the streets and the people like everybody else would see it, but you have this gift to filter the world through your lens and just take out the beauty.
I follow your blog everyday so definitely looking forward for the Seoul shots!

I usually don't comment over here (or anywhere else for that matter), but wish to make an exception today. After months of following this blog on an almost daily basis, it's really nice to see the man behind the camera doing his thing… And I love the philosophy behind the whole idea…

I hope we'll all be able to enjoy your blog for many years to come!

Kind regards from a fan

Long time lurker, first time commenting. This video is as wonderful as my daily dose of your blog. Thanks!

Great film! I enjoy looking at your beautiful photos. And, oh my goodness, you are quite beautiful as well.

I remember finding The Sartorialist a few years ago too! You're such an inspiration, keep doing what you're doing! Other blogs but specially The Sartorialist gave me courage to do my own blog!
You're amazing! Such a cool video!

Wonderfully shot. Nice to see behind the web page.

This is so beautiful! Loved being able to see the man behind the lens and how you go about your work. I always wondered how you were able to capture photographs that are so candid, yet get permission of people and have the ability to pose them.

Love that ending montage too!

Namaste,

Loved finally "meeting you" via this, and really loved your coined phrase, "digital park bench…" so perfect. You come across just as I imagined you, sharp, authentic, and very bright. Keep up the great work!

Amazing, I'm looking forward to see a complete documentary movie about your work !

This is fabulous!

Fantastic!
i love The Sartorialist!
:)

You´re my hero!!!

Your work is so inspiring as you give the whole world a chance to see through your eyes!

thank you for that!

a huge fan of yours from Estonia

Awesome. Love the site- love the documentary.

Nice documentary… You are my inspiration Scott.

I really like your work.

I am a 58 year old retiree and your blog/photos are so inspirational. I just started taking photos two years (didn't even own a camera then) and it has become my passion.

Thanks for sharing…I am grabbing my camera now and hitting the streets!

Amazing way to capture the age.
What was the name of the photographer you were mentioning from the early 1900s?

You were the reason I started blogging and this film validates alot of what I feel about blogging. Very interesting. The first charming woman on the street, the way her voice literally changes when she realises it's you is precious! 'Ohhhhh' you can almost hear her realising that the answer to the question 'can I take your picture?' is definitely YES!

Such an inspirational video, such an inspirational person.

Hi!I'm a spanish girl who's just created a little blog. I made a drawing with my vision of one of your portraits: a Carine Roitfield's one. I'd be very happy and grateful if you could visit my blog to see the drawing! Thank you so much, keep showing the world how the blogs have to be!Greetings from Spain!

This is so incredible! Thanks so much for sharing and I admire what you're doing!

uau , so beautiful

Hi, Scott. As an independent filmmaker, I am constantly seeking seeking inspiration regarding work methodology.

You state that you "just react" to the world around you and seek to capture the "most beautiful image in the most simple way." And you humbly admit that your "lack of knowledge" really helped your work.

I'm on a similar quest and find your method very inspiring and affirming. Thank you for sharing so honestly and without pomp in this great video.

Cheers to you!
-Christopher J. Boghosian

I love your "eye".
each pic is so well captured and i'm agree with you in the fact photography is just the chance to see something at a precise moment. we can do the best photography with a crapy camera and a usual subject, the importance is just the way we see it.

keep doing what you do :)
meet you in some street maybe one day!

I just luv it! all your work and fashionable taste you have! Hope you can visit Mexico or Latin america one day. And I cant wait for you shots from Seoul!

Always the best Vibra for you and your work! xoxo

you da mannn!

Very nice video, it makes us to know a little bit more about you and your work!
Keep going!!

Dear Scott,

I watched this beautifully made documentary – respect to Tyler Manson! – and I was struck by a number of things: the dedication with which you approach your art; your patience and discernment; and your humility.

Seeing you observe, and engage, with the world and its people with such quiet resoluteness and respect, was inspiring. You have a grace that is unique, and I wish you the very best success … You deserve it.

Eddie in Kansas City

Great film – and how intersting to see who's behind all the great stuff on your blog!

i love your suggestion to "let yourself be seduced a little bit everyday."beautiful.

inspiring.

Salam,
I love your blog and it's normal you have a documentary because you are a new phenomen in the internet's word.

I'm a musumlan's woman who leave in France ( 100 kms south of Lyon, welcome by the way, Lyon is an magnifique city and the rhone alpes region it's gorgious, talk to Garance, you see), and i don't wearing burka or other uniforms, i love fashion, i wearing carrot's pants, flar etc and i doing my religion, 5 "salat" for day.
Yes, i'm a musulman and fashion, it's hard but i like to think i leave my religion in style.
Yes, it's hard for an woman with morocan origins, thirty years old, one child and a security job to have a fashion code.
I read your blog since i leave here ( i'm a parisian's girl!!) and it's a source of fashion for me.
Allah e kemel bekher my brother ( translate : Allah help you in your futur).
Thank you.
Sorry for my english…

you're always the best! ispiration for me!

I'm new to The Sartorialist, but what a great introduction.

Directed by the same Tyler Manson who does surf documentaries? Whoever is the brains behind this is genius… this video is beautifully mesmerizing.
