To celebrate the September publication of Schuman's second Penguin book, 'The Sartorialist - Closer', Danziger Gallery will be mounting a two week exhibition concurrent with New York's Fashion Week. Schuman's first book of photographs, 'The Sartorialist', sold over 100,000 copies, topped illustrated book best seller lists, and was translated into several languages. Keenly sought to lecture, shoot, exhibit, and attend the front row of fashion shows around the world, none of this would have happened before the internet. His pictures are shot digitally, disseminated digitally, commented on digitally, and printed digitally. In many ways Schuman can be seen as the first 'true' photographer of the digital age. The site now regularly gets 1.8 million unique visits a month and 12 million page views. Since September 2005, on his website he has recorded not so much 'street fashion' but the moment when men and women with a certain style find themselves in particular time and place and light and capture his attention. Scott Schuman - better known as The Sartorialist - has emerged over the last few years as the leading photographer of the internet.
