Adam Katz Sinding
See His Work On: W Magazine; Le 21eme; Grazia
Adam Katz Sinding is a pro at capturing the diversity of the numerous segments that fall under the umbrella of dopeness. Whether it's next-level street goth that's so dark Lucifer himself shivers at its sight, or expert menswear that make you want to learn how to tie six different types of knots and raid your grandfather's closet, Sinding finds the highest level of each genre and snaps pics that'll inspire you to take it up at least four notches.
Joshua Woods
See His Work On: Joshua Woods; Street Etiquette
Joshua Woods is starting to gain some serious momentum, and it's very much well-deserved. The street style that he captures is diverse, but it's always at the pinnacle of each outfit's respective arena. The Harlem native simply knows menswear, streetwear, and everything in between too well to ever snap a wack 'fit. The recognition that he's beginning to find is only the beginning of what's definitely to come.
Karl Edwin Guerre
See His Work On: Guerreisms
On his site, Karl Edwin Guerre's work focuses on style, not fashion. Instead of honing in on the trendiest or the flashiest items out there, his lens finds the details and the overall looks that transcend time and hold your gaze upon instantly recognizable classics.
Kuba Dabrowski
See His Work On: WWD
A quick cruise through Kuba Dabrowski's work will confirm that street style isn't necessarily his primary focus, but when he's not shooting highly stylized, nearly surreal scenes or documenting his travels around the globe or chilling with the Pigalle crew, he certainly has an eye for dope outfits. Dabrowski's documentation of the most stylish dudes attending the Fashion Weeks of London, Milan, and Paris always gives a heads-up to guys stateside of what's popping off in the Old World.
George Elder
See His Work On: Four Pins
It's hard, exactly, to pinpoint the exact demographic that our Four Pins fam targets and attracts. But if you want to take a guess at the guys Four Pins admires, George Elder snaps the OG menswear dudes, the downtown cool guys, and the straight-up weirdos that our brethren write in all caps about.
Stefano Carloni
See His Work On: HighSnobiety; Mr. Tuft
Stefano Carloni knows that it's the details that matter. The Milan-native tends to break dope outfits with close-up shots that bring the tiny things to the fore. So just in case you were wondering why, exactly, this one outfit is so deceptively incredible, his lens is there to educate you on how to bring it to the next level.
Hyunbum Nam
See His Work On: StreetFSN; Grazia
There's a reason why Hyunbum Nam has an knack for capturing some of the best outfits out there. The man is also an incredibly well-dressed guy who deserves many more props than he gets for killin' it. But his obvious #1 skill is snapping photos of dudes that will inspire you to take an extra style risk without venturing into corny peacock territory. The Seoul-based photographer knows the fine line between uniquely dressed and straight looking like a clown, a skill that more people definitely need to get familiar with.
Liam Goslett
See His Work On: GQ; Liam Saw This
Liam Goslett was one of the first figures behind the #menswear movement, and soon became the sub-genre's unofficial photographer. That quickly translated into snapping some of the best street style out there, and convincing aspiring style icons to cop cigarettes every NYFW even if they didn't smoke. It might sound like a cliché, but Goslett doesn't photograph just clothing; he captures moments created by well-dressed dudes.
François Guillaume
See His Work On: This Is Not a Tie
If you're not following Guillaume's work, you're truly at a loss. His photos are romantic and powerful, and depict how we all wish we looked when strolling over the cobblestones of damp Parisian streets. The clothing, in fact, almost takes a backseat to the overall compositions, and Guillaume is definitely a talent that's bringing a unique perspective to the entire genre of street style.
Youngjun Koo
See His Work On: NY Mag; I'm Koo
Youngjun Koo not only captures the great clothing that people always bring to various fashion weeks around the globe, but he also is able to convey the energy that various personalities cultivate at each of these events. His street style goes beyond straight documentation, and is more a delivery of the madness and the fun that goes down bi-annually in London, Milan, Paris, and NYC.
