BLOGGERS...WHO?

During the 'StreetStyle' Brief I was lost by how to present and photograph the people we see. I ventured out and began to research different street bloggers.

I came across Norwegian blogger 'Hanneli' www.hanneli.com a former fashion model and part time contributor at VOGUE who created her own blog to post her daily 'Street Style' images and fashion posts, funnily enough I found out about 'Hanneli' whilst reading VOGUE. I admired her photographic ability and how she captures the mood so well in her photos.
However, after browsing through her blog I found that her blog posts about her own street style are more relaxed and realistic, rather than her more stylised images. Although, I admire how her take on the classic 'girly' style does not revolve around the common pretty 'dress' or 'skirt' , I find she incorporates 'Parisian Chic' with a relaxed 'Geek Chic'.

I also managed to find TWO other bloggers who share a passion as same as mine...that's right, Handbags. Its a match made in, well, leather.

One that caught my eye was a blogger called 'Maxce' www.maxcebycecilej.com who has a decorative and quirky bag collection  to gawk over.

Cecile J, or under her alias as 'Maxce' is a french casual fashion blogger, who blogs as a hobby. I came across Maxce as I was creating my own blog and seen suggestions under neath my tab, I admired the simplicity of her blog and how it was clean and organised but what I really was amazed from was I began to notice that most of what her street style was, was from discounted stores or the high street, yet she is channeling and holding these clothes and accessories in a way which perceives them to look expensive than they are. 

However, what drew me were her amazing and elaborate bags! Though some of her outfits she paired them with were busy enough, my focus directed straight towards the bag, I used this as inspiration during our 'StreetStyle' brief and tried to capture a person's bag to be the centre focus.

Whilst browsing through blogger suggestions I came to find Sara Piaseczynski www.thebagblog.com creator of 'The Bag Blog'. What I admired about 'TBB' is how its shown from a realistic perspective, by the style of the photography and the content of whats written for each post.

I also admired her imaginative and quirky photography, by how she places and uses different angles to shoot her bags. I used Piaseczynski's photograph style as influence through my street style task, as I found her angles are flattering and show detail to the image.
