post a commentLove the contrast!
this is artistically brilliant, and what makes you a true artist.
How gorgeous.
if i could buy a print of this and hang it in my living room i would. like this second. :]
amazing. breathtaking artwork here.
fierce
Fantastic photo! Love the inferred elegance of Ms Incognito.
Can't stop wondering how dangerous full dark combinations can be and how much attention is drawn to the face - woman should just not have one like that. Never.
nice layers! give me more of this!
I love the juxtaposition!!
Incredible photo Sart, you just get better end better!
One could write a poem looking at this two women.
great shot. i love the contrast between the dark and the colorful. well done!
The juxtaposition in this photo is incredible.
Who cares about the fashion when the shot is this perfect? Nice work!
A modern-day Caillebotte! Love the contrast and the sense of alienation.
Yes, this is an outstanding photo!
I've never commented before, even though i check the page daily. I'm always stunned by the choice of Scotts subjects, how the pictures seem off the cuff and perfectly composed at the same time. this being one that does both to a stupidly high level!!
Keep delivering these amazing moments Sart!!
a magical moment or a magical eye?
Frame-worthy.
I would hang this in my office.
What an interesting dichotomy! I love this.
Beautiful shot...I get a feeling that many years from now we'll look back on your iconic images like we do now on shots like "Kiss at the Hotel de Ville"....and this one will be among the best of them. Congrats!

Wish this had been on the wall last night!
gf in the front is looking a good deal like late great I. Blow. represent.
great contrast! great angle! great picture! just perfect!
congratulations!
Oh yes, this one is your most original picture you've ever made.
Top three, Scott.
This is *so* well done.
What great drama. Love. it.
Nice. NICE. The almost perfectly mirrored silhouettes and different picture planes make the stark contrast even better.
I love the contrast between youthful and colorful that maybe less expensive vs. older and more conservative but perhaps with more money.
When were you the happiest?
Luv
Poochie
This is such a Cartier-Bresson "moment".
Bravo for you, Mister Sartorialist! And congratulations on your big opening/party, too.
A nice short story there ...
the younger woman in red holding her own, slightly battered yellow umbrella (and maybe a look of disappointment - did soembody stand her up? Can't she get into the show?), and the slightly older or more privileged woman in black, with someone catering to her - but possibly also waiting for someone who may or may not arrive.
They could be the same woman ten or twenty years apart. And ain't that life?
this is astounding. the image takes my breath away, and i second whichonespink -- i want to possess this. *love*
Very different from your other photos, and I love it.
I'm going to have to say that this is my favorite shot of all of your shots.
Wow. What a great picture. It took my breath away!
easily an all-time favorite.. exquisitely composed - to the step - from the noise behind the woman in red to the black & white silouhette..
beautiful.
dammit, i'm insanely jealous of your knack to notice serendipity. excellent capture!
Stunning juxtaposition. I love the red boots!
I've read your blog for months, and this is the photo that made me post a comment. You've taken seldom a photo that surpasses this one. Truly brilliant.
this is one of my all time favorites... brilliant.
Wow. Truly inspirational. This is the photo that made me post a comment after months of readership.
love it
Like a painting, with some fashion on it.
The contrast in colours, lives and style is captured beautifully!
Nice life if you can get it!
unreal picture... i love it.
This picture (and its title) makes me smile and want to laugh out loud. Wonderful.
Very interesting shot, Sart!
The other one is colorful and I could clearly see the face, while the other one is in an all-black ensemble and cannot be identified..
This is meeeeannnnn
Cheers!

You should direct movies - you tell a story in a single frame!
Sometimes, your work really leaves me breathless.
This is one of those times.
great composition.
Wow... that is a stunning photograph.
nice composition. muy nice.
Your lighting is always impeccable, and it really stands out in this shot.
Re: the glasses on the woman on the right. I can't help but think we're going to be seeing a lot of people looking silly with these new big glasses.
I wanted to know their names... but I am am happy to look and make up my own story. Very Well Done, Sir.
Wow, what good luck that you stumbled upon this juxtaposition.
This shot reminds me of Caillebotte's Paris, Rainy Day.
absolutely gorgeous...
I don't see the significance of this photo, Sart. Were you hungover (from the previous night) when you posted it? That said, the red coat on the young lady on the left is such an amazingly rich colour. Her boots, gloves, and yellow umbrella look fantastic. Only a few people could pull this off. Your photo really captures it. It's a pity the mysterious young lady on the right somehow crept into your shot. Well done nonetheless.
that, my friend, is what photography is all about.
Absolutely, completely, and 100% stunning.
Wonderful job, Sart.
that you could see this, and capture it... magic. thank you for showing us the juxtaposition of all of us together. you are a truly talented chronicler of people, and i enjoy visiting ! thank you thank you !
this is photographically what i want to aim for! i love the complexity in lighting and color contrasts, as well as thematic contrasts. specifically, i love how the woman on the right remains in some anonymity whereas the younger woman on the left has an outfit that screams "here i am!"
WOW... I'm speechless! ;-) You absolutely captured the moment... The picture clearly defines the binary opposites...
I study art in school, and so much of what we discuss circles around color and contrast. The clothing aside, the photograph is a beautiful shot. Well done!
simply great photo!
as far as photographs go, this is positively cinematic.
as a writer...
this one shot is enough for me to write a whole story...
why do i even need to wrtie a story when the pictures screams a whole novel!
this just fabuslous. like it begs a story.
what a awsome pic
one of my favourites until now and I read your blog every day.
Michael
wow, amazing, my favourite picture.
I agree, I'd also like on my wall!
My goodness Sart, your caption was absolutely brilliant and it just about sums up this picture from so many different angles. The care-freeness of the lady in the red, her relaxed and natural stylishness (because she can hold her own umbrella, thank you very much), in contrast to the dark, and although stylish in her own right, tense Madam whose umbrella is being held for her. You could write a thesis on this picture and the caption on it-smart art Sart (hey, that rhymes), you've raised the bar with this one.
Energie
Holy crap. Hands down the best photograph I have seen in a long, long time.
it´s so you.
It's as if the universe sends you presents :)
You can clearly see that it's all about "the MOOD" in this case, one is bright and colorful and the other one is simply dark and gloomy. Great job! Awesome photo!
WOW!!!FROM SPAIN ALL OF MY CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE PHOTO AND THE BLOG
Wonderful image... Images like this go into history...
One word: noir!
Your eyes are always open. What a gift.
The best to you today.
This is art
Before the picture loaded, I hadn't a clue what this picture would be (only seeing the title). This is an amazing photograph, and like others who have commented before me, I would purchase it in a heartbeat to display somewhere in my home.
hahahaha! i find their expressions so funny!
What amazing contrast. A beautiful photo.
I am AMAZED as to how astute you were that you were able to capture this moment so brilliantly. Bravissimo!
i think this is the best photograph that you've taken. it is breathtaking.
now this is just pure visual poetry.
this is perfect
Amazing photo!
Awesome!!! Love this pic.. One of my favorites...
I love this photo! The contrast is not only about the style, but clearning about the lives of these two women....you continue to amaze. I too would buy this and hang it on my wall.
Demonstrates once again why you are not simply a street style photographer. I am looking forward to the much demanded Sartorialist book.
so the decisive moment.
Amazing contrast,
This is a work of art.
Beautiful Sart
one of your best shots... out of many
wow, that is art really!
great work, sart!
you've broken into new ground with this shot.
I'm completely blown away.
what a moment and how poetic. i just love this.
Sartorialist's best composition ever.
wonderful! you really should make prints - i want to buy this!
Beautiful, Sart.
First time I haven't been able to not comment; gorgeous
so 'the devil wears prada'!!
Andy Warhol, Wes Anderson, Thom Yorke, the Sartorialist ; all some of my favorite artists. :)
Hey I ve been checking your blog every day since you started and I never commented before, this might sound crazy but this pic made my cry, it is truly a beautiful image. Thanks!!
Hand down! Wow! I don't really know who it was you took a shot of, because the lady at the background, with a yellow umbrella, looked interesting. But I love, love, the entire composition of this photograph!
the difference betwen an artist and someone who take photos… Best photo ever…
Gratz ! Gratz ! Gratz !
Amazing photo. I thought of this one by Weegee, which of course chronicles a different world, but it's equally arresting.
http://museum.icp.org/museum/collections/special/weegee/
Wow is all I can say about this shot! I love the idea that these two women who are at the same place at the same time, yet seem to be worlds apart!
The Weegee photo is "The Opera," and one has to click the title of the photo after going to this link:
http://museum.icp.org/museum/collections/special/weegee/
Incredible photo. Excellent exposures and contrasts. A work of art.
Would love to know more about it....
Talk about talent!! Color vs. black, bright vs. dark, clear vs. ambiguous, independent vs. dependent, crowd vs. privacy - this picture has it all!!
Is this a real on-the-street found setting that you caught on camera? It is almost too good to be true!! most people never even notice this amazing contrast in a crowd and than capture it as well!!
Awesome. Thank you!
ps
The read girl looks so comfortable in her high fashion - she looks like she lives well dressed everyday.
nice photo! like the contrast between color and shades... well done
magnificient.
Simply Fabulous!
Its soooo incredible. Its so amazing! The contrast between the dark lady with the umbrella held for her and the yellow umbrella clashes so magnificently. True artwork going on here!
besides the 300 other positively inspiring comments i want to make on this perfect photo... how chivalrous. not only is he holding her umbrella, it appears as if he's holding her bag and she might be wearing his gloves and hat...
Scott, it's like a frame captured from an Italian film.
This is your best picture yet!
Bravo... wow. I visit your site every day and must say this is the first time I was completely blown out of the water at the artistic composition of the photo. Keep up the incredible work!
This is one of my all time favourite photos of yours. Just brill.
At the risk of being just another laudatory voice ... this is indeed a brilliant shot. Beautiful. So much interesting tension! It's almost as if the foreground was black and white film, and the background glorious color.
Wonderful work.
just beautiful! perfect.
breathtaking - like so many of the above commentators, this is the photo that has compelled me to comment for the first time. Amazing, and so inspiring. Love it!
not only is the photograph beautiful, but i see this all the time living a a dark city (berlin) with a sea of all black and dark greys and then a pop of color just really makes it even better.
I love this photograph.
Absolutely brilliant, especially since the contrasting colors are so bright on their own!
It doesn't get any better than this.
Everyone else has already said it all.... this photo is... INCREDIBLE. Museum-worthy.
I cannot add much that has not already been said. This is art, it is frame-worthy, such contrast between the two, such a story going on in the space. I think I may just frame it! You should be congratulated and proud of such a shot. You were so lucky to have had these two walk by together and your skill is apparent in the outcome of the shot. Bravo!
This is fantastic! You are brilliant.
What a beautiful shot! I love the contrast between the person in color and the person in black. Do you wish to stand out or dissapear?
Best wishes,
E.J.
whats really funny here is that the guy holding the umbrella is the creative director of GQ, Jim Moore, and the woman under it is one of his editors, Madeline Weeks. All of a sudden the image of the rich woman with her escort type is a little dissipated.
...I just saw all these comments after almost one year...
so funny
by the way, I'm the lady in red...
thanks for the great shot
susanna
hahah different lives i get it
the picture is breathtaking!
I must say this shot is amazing. A true piece of art. Thanks.
