Fashion photographer Scott Schuman on his new book The Sartorialist: India

New York-based fashion photographer Scott Schuman tells us why he prefers street style to runway style, how to find authenticity and why he keeps going back to India.
CBC Radio ·
Scott Schuman, a.k.a. The Sartorialist, has been traveling to India for over a decade to capture its wildly original beauty in markets, music festivals, city streets, and cricket fields, and across cities like Delhi, Jaipur, Chennai, and Mumbai. (Submitted by Scott Schuman)

In 2005, New York-based photographer Scott Schuman started his fashion blog The Sartorialist and helped usher in a major street style photography movement in the fashion industry.

He's now released a new book of photos that were taken during his travels to India over the past 10 years. While there, he saw a different side of the country: a growing middle class, an evolving fashion scene and youth who mix influences from all around the world to create unique looks.

Schuman joined q's Tom Power on the line from New York to talk about why he prefers street style to runway style, how to find authenticity and why he keeps going back to India. His new book The Sartorialist is out now.

See some photos from the book below.
