Tokyo Photo 3.




The Sartorialist, as popular as he is in America and Europe, is not much known in Japan - but as these pictures hopefully show, not only was his work much admired, but the stylish visitors to Photo Tokyo were only too happy to pose for me.

I first found out about The Sartorialist through his show at Danziger Projects. I was with a college class, and we stumbled in after looking at other nearby galleries. You were so nice and let us pick out one of the four postcards printed for the show each. I've followed his blog ever since, and was happy to find yours.

I love that you photographed the visitors! A very nice juxtaposition to Scott's photographs. Their different styles makes me wish he was shooting in Japan!
