Bill Cunningham has been photographing street style since 1978. He is the main style photographer for the New York Times and is, in fact, a legend. He got his big break when he luckily snapped a shot of Greta Garbo on the street, showed it to her, she loved it and thus started a new means of distributing fashion photography.
This week, a documentary on Bill Cunnigham will be released, entitled "Bill Cunningham: New York"- all about his life as a street photographer. Here is the trailer:
“The main thing I love about street photography is that you find the answers you don’t see at the fashion shows. This was something I realized early on: if you just cover the designers in the shows, that’s only one facet. You also need the street and the evening hours. if you cover the three things, you have the full picture of what people are wearing.” - Bill Cunningham
I can't wait to see this!
