Street-Style Fashion Photography Can Net $1,000 An Image
We've already seen the heat that's come from bloggers increasing their presence at international fashion week, but the next focus just might be on street-style photographers. Today, there's high demand for the candid shots of celebrities attending shows, and coupled with the fact that fashion editors and other style icons now have legions of fans following their every move and wardrobe choice, that makes a prime market for camera-savvy snappers to sell their shots for increasingly large paycheques.
Getting the right shot can be lucrative. "Indeed, it's become increasingly difficult to tell the difference between the aggressive paparazzi who stalk Hollywood celebrities outside bars and clubs and a few of the bad apples amongst the hordes of photographers that accost editors as they come in and out of shows," says Imran Amed of Business of Fashion. "Several street-style bloggers told me confidently that the competition is extremely fierce for getting the best photographs, which can then be sold on to global editors of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar each for as little as $200, but up to $1,000 or more." Getting a grand for just the right photograph of a high-level editor? We're betting there are plenty of fashion-hungry photogs yearning to be the next Scott Schuman or Garance Dore who could use that bank.

Quote Me: Anna Dello Russo On Street Style
“
The whole streetstyle thing these days is like a job, it’s all planned and thought up in advance; it’s not as though you just “happen” to run into one another. Outfits are prepared in advance… I just hope it doesn’t end up making it lose its spontaneity and make it become fake.

Runway to Realway: Ann Demeulemeester
Headed by the likes of Ann Demeulemeester, Rick Owens and Meadham Kirchoff, the glam grunge look has had a cult following that is not going away anytime soon. The anti-trend mixes black deconstructed clothes with leather accessories for a tough directional style. For SS09, Demeulemeester took inspiration from a caged bird, with delicate chains hanging from the models' faces. Floor-length black skirts and dresses were teamed with leather waistcoats and tailored cut-out jackets.
This trend is all about street style, so it comes as no surprise that we found many a doting Demeulemeester fan channelling the look. The zebra wedge boots and tartan bag add a personal touch, whilst the black maxi-dress and leather jacket are classic glam grunge. Sheer fabrics and cut out detailing will take this through to summer, but until then layer up that leather.
