‘I’m not just chasing likes’: at home with The Sartorialist’s Scott Schuman
Moments from the lives of others fill his walls. But what is life like behind the lens in his New York apartment?
Scott Schuman doesn’t always ask if he can take someone’s picture. If a great shot presents itself – a tender moment he captured last month between an older man and what appears to be his granddaughter, say, or a stylish woman dashing across a cobbled square – he will take a quick snap. But other times, he likes his subjects to look directly into his lens: confident, beautiful, often in sunglasses – sharply dressed women and men in the world’s most fashionable cities.
