It takes the eye of an artist to capture images such as those that are on the covers of the biggest names of international magazines.
There are so many street style photographers who define themselves “blogger” or “professional photographer” when they’ re not, and we must make a distinction between those who do it for passion - whose talent is recognized by everyone- and those who, instead, do it just for the desire to appear and emerge. In this jungle of improvised photographers, emerge those who are very talented and they don’t need no flash on them. Defined as “masters of street style” Adam Katz Sinding and Karl Edwin Guerre, also known as Le 21ème (Adam KS) and Guerreisms (KE Wars), are the two most wanted photographers of the moment. Their ability to observe, recognize and highlight some of the details that a simple person would never be able to notice, makes them unique. Their photos, are recognized by their personal eye that captures particolar subject and they result so clear and expressive and seems like it’s telling us a story, highlighting the personality of the subject and not the clothes they wear. The thing that both have in common is the passion for details, small but seemingly insignificant elements that make the difference and those things tell us a side of the person that not everyone is able to capture. Defined “self-madeand self motivated”, Adam Katz Sinding was born in San Francisco, raised in Tacoma, and now lives in New York, but his real home is the most stylish street of the world. His debut with the camera was after his father’s the death. Now is the photographer more appreciated by several fashion magazines around the world. A mix between “artist and intellectual” defines himself the american photographer, writer and art director, Karl Edwin Guerre. He writes for the biggest magazine, but the biggest magazines write about him . The touch of a real gentleman Mr. Guerre is unmistakable.
