Wau, she is beautiful, I just love her complexion, so fresh with a lot of freckles. Her dress is pretty, she looks like a heroine from a film, something "old" about the picture, or not old maybe, but Moviesque, if you get what I mean.
Btw, I bought your book a couple of days a go, and I totally LOVE it!!! The only picture that I miss in it, is the one from Paris last spring, a very amazing lady with jeans, a grey fur, and huge sun glasses, an the most amazing shoes. The book really opened my mind, and I started to like the way Garance dresses ( first I thought she was an ordinary girl ) but now I see her colors in totally different way. So i am gonna get a new color chart in my wardrobe, a lot of grey, beige and dark blue, instead of my black and bright color.
Was wondering when a Dubliner would show up. Beautiful beautiful image. Was so great to meet you and hear you speak so eloquently about your process and journey. Thanks for coming to investigate this fair land. Helen

She's stunning, great picture!

This is so perfect and feels so personal, like I'm sitting down to a glass of wine with her. I'm always amazed at how the colors in your images seem to complement each other perfectly. The green wall, her red hair, and the yellow of the wine. That rainbow leaf print is also great. :)
Lovely image-just right for the best of Dublin and Ireland-elegant and comfortable and understated.
Annika said ... (7:30 AM) :
I've been a silent reader and never left comments on your blog but THIS ONE - just moves me. Her skin complexion, the base colour of her blouse and that gorgeous tone of wine just come in unison. So easy, so tranquil. And yes, the freckles.. her most natural beauty.
Thanks for this image, Scott, you're a top, top man.
Anna Júlia said ... (6:55 AM) :
Oh my... I don't really care for her dress, but she's absolutely gorgeous!
I'm delighted to see a truly elegant portrayal of an irish woman. I wish more irish women would embrace the pale and freckles. The tanned straightened hair is such a bore. Blathnaid's a real beauty.. such lovely skin.fa
My God. This is my favourite Sartorialist photo ever. It says as much about modern Ireland as Albert Kahn's photographs and images did for the early 20th Century. Just beautiful.
I find the Irish so intense and beautiful....love her blouse and the look on her face. Let me hop on that next plane to Shannon! http://wwwfuzzyland.blogspot.com/
I've been waiting to see what pictures you got in Dublin over the weekend! Love the naturalness of this girl, you have got to love our Irish skin, freckles and all, it's just beautiful! Really enjoyed your talk and getting to meet you on Friday. Hope there are more Dublin pics to come!
Beautiful portrait. I also picked up a copy of your book, amazing job on it. Your book tells a different story with every turn of the page, thank you for it.
I received your book a week ago and made a comment on my blog. Just wanted to say that I was surprised by the emotion of the photographs. Thank you for your work.

there's a certain candid poise in her posture, and yet a bit of mystery to her as well. maybe it is the elegance of the pose (something in her left hand is a bit pose-y, though) jux'd with the fun of the dress.
I want to be friends with this girl =)
Sharon said ... (4:25 AM) :
A lovely lady in such a lovely picture. I love the colors and the contrast.
Yay!! good to see Irish women on the blog, see we are stylish ;-), pls. pls. come to Dubai, lots of fashionable irish women for you to shoot here too :-)
Thanks for coming to Dublin! It was a pleasure to meet you! I'm an even bigger fan now!
From the girl who said you looked like a 1940's movie star!

I'm detecting a theme in these two great portraits that have popped up on the blog. Personally, though, the paper-white skin on the hand in the foreground is not aesthetically pleasing
Her beauty is timeless like the oicture itself. I love her red hair and freckles and natural elegance, and that touch of shyness.Irresistible!
Pia said ... (9:33 AM) :
You can just play with the camera. What a wonderful shot. You seem to bring out the very best in everyone you photograph. I am not a great freckle person ,but somehow this works. Scott, you are the best...
Anonymous said ... (9:40 AM) :
Really nailed this one w/the lighting, great photo
Very much a handsome Irish colleen.....could have stepped right out of James Joyce.......I'm looking forward to some more shots of Irish types......there's no shortage of interesting material.......you should have timed your visit for the Dublin horse show which would have provided a bonanza.....the horses look pretty good too.
Stunning picture that shows how freckles can be as flattering as the multicoloured pattern on her dress.
Was this taken at the bar in Harvey Nicks I wonder?
Your talk at the Gallery of Photography was really inspiring, thanks for coming to Dublin and hope we'll get to see some on-the-street shots as well :)
Stunning portrait. The light is absolutely gorgeous and well captured in this photograph.
Anonymous said ... (9:55 AM) :
Though some may see this as a tad stereotypical, for me it's the perfect selection for your first published Irish portrait. She embodies everything I love about Irish women--the fair skin, the gentle countenance, the quiet confidence--and brings to mind every generation of Irish women I've had the pleasure to know.
Lately your photos have become softer and sweeter. Are they expressing your current state of mind? :D lovely as always....

greendress said ... (11:12 AM) :
this woman is softly beautiful but it's the fabric, pattern and poppy red belt around her dress that i love. definitely a sartorial moment that i can emulate.
Lita said ... (11:11 AM) :
What a beautiful shot. The girl is not your classical beauty, but Scott just brings out the best in everyone..Bravo!
desertwind said ... (2:56 PM) :
Am I the only one who thought the print was repeating old Apple Mac computer logo?
It's a beautiful, anyway.
And she is stunning. Is she a dancer? Her hands -- well, everything about her natural poise -- so graceful and feminine.

i know this may sound strange but this photo reminds me of india, or sould i say an elegant indian woman i once saw in the indian occupied territory of Kashmir - she was a native and she had red hair such a complexion and freckles. extraordinary . i wonder have u ever thought to go to india? do u have plans to travel and take photos of stylish people in the other half of the world? i would love to know!
This is really a "Portrait." The way a portrait should be--evocative, personal, beautiful, elegant, intriguing. One of your best pictures yet.

Hurrah, proof that we're not all orange!
I've been back to look at this picture about five times today. Definitely something special about it. Beautiful portrait - the eyes! And boo to whoever said the pale hands weren't 'aesthetically pleasing'. People come in lots of different colours you know - we're not all a WASP-y American beige. Well done, Sart, looking forward to more.
This is a beautiful portrait. gorgeous light and girl.
love it.
Anonymous said ... (1:23 PM) :
What a fab shot. Scott, how do you do it? She is not beautiful but yet you have managed to make her look good! This is prob someone you would pass on the street and not be impressed with. Yet, give Scott that camera and look what he can do. Thank you for all your wonderful shots.
What a beautiful girl. She has natural grace and elegance to spare. She actually reminds me of princess Beth Ruspoli, an irish descent American who married Italian royalty.
This is what I call a beautiful and artistic portrait. Good job Sart.
Julia McEvoy said ... (1:23 PM) :
Looks almost like a silk Kimono, the way the material flows. An ageless pose and almost Mona Lisa like expression. And the long, pale fingers on the bar, with the crooked pinky--the translucent quality of her skin hints at vulnerability that belies the mature woman pose, to my eye anyway.
Thanks for coming to Dublin & signing my copy of that fab book!
This is a nice shot; not sure everyone has told you yet {;D
Hope you got to take some street shots while here and hope to see them up on the blog too!
Anonymous said ... (12:51 PM) :
it is a nice photo, but thats a terrible dress, makes her look much older than i'm sure she is.
José Pablo said ... (12:57 PM) :
This lady is so beautiful. The mixture between freckles and this stylish dress make her look really sexy. If I woul be closer to Dublin I woul like to approach her and kiss her inmediatly.
Why don't I live in Ireland for meeting her?
Anonymous said ... (12:47 PM) :
This has to be the woman that Luke Kelly describes in his song 'On Raglan Road': "On Raglan Road on an autumn day I saw her first and knew, that her dark hair would weave a snare that I might one day rue".

M-A-G-N-I-F-I-Q-U-E, is what I pronounced when I saw the picture of this beautiful young lady. Thank you

So obvious , so obvious, so obvious. My God. Ireland = freckles, pale skin, red hair and booze in the hand.
Nothing wrong with this woman. She's grand but this was just so predictable.
Interesting that after your heavily advertised rendez vous that there is only one photograph. I'm not sure whether the oh-so-predictable Maureen O' Hara hunt is a reflection on slim pickings or a total lack of imagination on your part?
Sigh...I love redheads. What a gorgeous blouse, and such a lovely face!
AnaPt said ... (3:28 PM) :
I'm in love with this picture!! Its so romantic and beautifull!
Anonymous said ... (3:22 PM) :
"She is not beautiful"?! Are you insane, Anonymous?
I think some people are prejudiced against redheads. I've always admired how Irish redheads dress -- there's no sense of apology or embarrassment (as there is in the UK or the US) associated with being pale and having red hair, and they know how to bring out the best in their inevitably beautiful complexions and gorgeous hair. There's more than one kind of beauty, and it's lovely to see it amplified and appreciated in this way.
Anonymous said ... (4:44 PM) :
Sart, I am a little sad that this is the only shot you could come up with from Dublin. What annoyed me it was so typical...redhair, freckles. My guess is you had to search for her.Nothing to rave about but like always you do get the best out of every shot you take...
I too love her freckles. Can´t understand why so many who have them, wish to get rid of them. So nice to see freckles on her arms too. Really charming.

Sorry anonymous but I disagree. Scott did not "make her look good", she looks great. She might not be what you think or have been conditioned to think is beautiful, but there is strength in her beauty. And I don't believe that Scott helped her to get dressed nor did he put that exact belt around her waist nor the make-up on her face nor did he ask her to wear her hair up in a style reminiscent of La Bardot.
She enabled Scott's camera to capture her personality and her FANTASTIC STYLE.
There is a lot of generosity in this shot - the perfect portrait need not contain all perfection - imperfections retain interest and leave scope for imagination...!
Thankyou!
(pst. The wine glass is complimentary in this shot.)
for anon 4:40 why do you think this is my only dublin shot?
Anonymous said ... (8:01 PM) :
Wow, she is a real beauty! I love this photograph by the way, it's so simple but intense and I love all the colours. My favourite photos on here in months! Hope there's more Dublin photos to come.
This is classy if I do say so myself. She even matches the table. Red lips, red belt, red hair, red in the shirt and a slight rosyness in her skin. Everything is slight enough to not overpower. This works.
Wow, WONDERFUL photograph! Perfect lighting, very crisp. Love it. Also, dying for the dress... and the wine, for that matter. It's been a long day. www.nickiefrye.etsy.com
Love the contrast between the colors, she seems out of time
Anonymous said ... (4:16 AM) :
I am reading some of the comments and had to laugh. Who cares if someone thinks she is not a raving beauty. It is a great shot end of story. Personally I do not like her dress at all. So what, I am only giving my opinion. Sart, gives 100% to all his work and honest he cant please everyone.
Laura said ... (2:27 AM) :
Ah, que hermoso! this is a very gorgeous photo, it just screams; Artistic. how can you pull it off to almost making everyday such a special, carasteristic photo?

One of the most beautiful women I've seen on your site.
Everything about her is perfection, right down to the way it looks like she chews her nails.
I wouldn't wear that print in a hundred years, but on her it's divine.
"- the perfect portrait need not contain all perfection - imperfections retain interest and leave scope for imagination...! "
I love your site, not just for your amazing pictures, but for the sheer POETRY of some of your commentors. :o)
i'm so in love with the print on this dress i could die. die.

a stunning photo - she's really beautiful. She's so lucky her freckles didn't fade as she grew up! Even better that she hasn't covered them with tons of foundation. I thought only aussie redheads of irish and scottish descent got that freckley.
She's so lovely!! i love the way you've shot her too Sart, up close showing her soft skin, her beautiful freckles - really great!
Saoirse said ... (10:41 AM) :
Yes, it would be her name.
Blath means "flower, blossom."in Irish. In legend, Bláthnaid, the reluctant wife of Curai Mac Daire, loved Cúchulainn, her husband's rival. She revealed the secret entrance to her husband's fortress to him by milking her cow and letting the milk run down the hill into a stream. Cúchulainn followed the stream, raided the fortress and rescued Bláthnaid.
PLEASE tell me where I can find this top/dress. PLEASE.

This is absolutely my favourite photo of yours ever (and I have been reading every day for a long time). It's so harmonious and graceful...I do hope that you'll be doing another book soon. I've come back to see this photo over and over again in the last couple of days and would love to have a print copy. Congratulations!

It's a funny thing. You shoot style and fashion, and you get high credit for that. I think, though, your best work are portraits. These people feel so very palpable but so completely ethereal at once.
other than the dress she looks like a classical painting. What an Irish beauty! She's stunning!

Stunning. Thrilled to see some o' the Irish. I'm hoping the dark, wall planks behind her indicate a true, Irish pub - the wall really makes her beauty pop. Would love more Ireland if you've got it. ~CGD
Dublin doesn't exactly get a lot of press when it comes to fashion, but I spent two weeks there last year and saw so many wonderfully stylish, non-tourist women. And so many with fab short haircuts. I fell so in love with the city.

post a commentStunning!
Wau, she is beautiful, I just love her complexion, so fresh with a lot of freckles. Her dress is pretty, she looks like a heroine from a film, something "old" about the picture, or not old maybe, but Moviesque, if you get what I mean.
Btw, I bought your book a couple of days a go, and I totally LOVE it!!!
The only picture that I miss in it, is the one from Paris last spring, a very amazing lady with jeans, a grey fur, and huge sun glasses, an the most amazing shoes.
The book really opened my mind, and I started to like the way Garance dresses ( first I thought she was an ordinary girl ) but now I see her colors in totally different way. So i am gonna get a new color chart in my wardrobe, a lot of grey, beige and dark blue, instead of my black and bright color.
Thanks, great job Scott!
she's so beautiful.
Was wondering when a Dubliner would show up. Beautiful beautiful image. Was so great to meet you and hear you speak so eloquently about your process and journey. Thanks for coming to investigate this fair land. Helen
She's stunning, great picture!
This is so perfect and feels so personal, like I'm sitting down to a glass of wine with her. I'm always amazed at how the colors in your images seem to complement each other perfectly. The green wall, her red hair, and the yellow of the wine. That rainbow leaf print is also great. :)

Beautiful! Love her dress and love the way she is pictured.
Lovely image-just right for the best of Dublin and Ireland-elegant and comfortable and understated.
I've been a silent reader and never left comments on your blog but THIS ONE - just moves me. Her skin complexion, the base colour of her blouse and that gorgeous tone of wine just come in unison. So easy, so tranquil. And yes, the freckles.. her most natural beauty.
Thanks for this image, Scott, you're a top, top man.
Oh my... I don't really care for her dress, but she's absolutely gorgeous!
this is a beautiful portrait of a beautiful woman. she looks so fresh and unaffected.
she looks a lot like blake lively!
harmony!!! So nice...thank you
I love the pattern on her dress, but most of all I LOVE her skin! She has such a fresh and natural beauty.
Absoutely a beautiful shot! I wish I could see the whole look? was this a dress... or a top.
Are you going to make a stop in Florence Italy. I would love to meet you and pick up a copy of your book!
Thats a Great Photo!
A wonderful natural fresh Irish Beauty.
Nice print¡

A young Kate Hepburn....
I'm delighted to see a truly elegant portrayal of an irish woman. I wish more irish women would embrace the pale and freckles. The tanned straightened hair is such a bore. Blathnaid's a real beauty.. such lovely skin.fa
Wow.
She personifies that one syllable word of two consonants and one vowel. stunning.
Are you coming to Australia?
What a fantastic shot. The woman and the dress are stunning.
gorgeaus!
What a gorgeous (vintage?) dress!!!
My God. This is my favourite Sartorialist photo ever. It says as much about modern Ireland as Albert Kahn's photographs and images did for the early 20th Century. Just beautiful.
I find the Irish so intense and beautiful....love her blouse and the look on her face. Let me hop on that next plane to Shannon! http://wwwfuzzyland.blogspot.com/
Beautiful girl, great clothes, beautiful photo.
I've been waiting to see what pictures you got in Dublin over the weekend! Love the naturalness of this girl, you have got to love our Irish skin, freckles and all, it's just beautiful! Really enjoyed your talk and getting to meet you on Friday. Hope there are more Dublin pics to come!
shes so stunning, I love her dress sooo much

Elegante, muy elegante y serena!
Wonderful girl!!
They're colorful leaves! I thought they were fish at first. Lovely and freckly
BEAUTIFUL COLOURS!!
It looks like a simple picture but every detail of it is amazing. It made me want to go for a glass of white wine and it's 10:30am!

Pipi Longstocking gone stylish.... I like it.
Beautiful portrait. I also picked up a copy of your book, amazing job on it. Your book tells a different story with every turn of the page, thank you for it.
I love the red belt on this shirt. Nice touch!
The colors look great with her complection.
Well done. I whish I could see more of this in Dublin.
She's lovely !
She seems so calm and confident.
I received your book a week ago and made a comment on my blog. Just wanted to say that I was surprised by the emotion of the photographs.
Thank you for your work.
Irish Eyes are Definitely Smiling :)
there's a certain candid poise in her posture, and yet a bit of mystery to her as well. maybe it is the elegance of the pose (something in her left hand is a bit pose-y, though) jux'd with the fun of the dress.
I want to be friends with this girl =)
A lovely lady in such a lovely picture. I love the colors and the contrast.
the freckles make an otherwise dull picture quite nice.
Yay!! good to see Irish women on the blog, see we are stylish ;-), pls. pls. come to Dubai, lots of fashionable irish women for you to shoot here too :-)
Love the picture!
Thanks for coming to Dublin! It was a pleasure to meet you! I'm an even bigger fan now!
From the girl who said you looked like a 1940's movie star!
I'm detecting a theme in these two great portraits that have popped up on the blog. Personally, though, the paper-white skin on the hand in the foreground is not aesthetically pleasing
beautiful!
Her beauty is timeless like the oicture itself.
I love her red hair and freckles and natural elegance, and that touch of shyness.Irresistible!
You can just play with the camera. What a wonderful shot. You seem to bring out the very best in everyone you photograph. I am not a great freckle person ,but somehow this works. Scott, you are the best...
Really nailed this one w/the lighting, great photo
love her! the colors are perfect. wishing i had freckles...
Nice light and colors combination. A very romantic and a bit melancholic picture altogether.
Well done Sart!
PS: Keep this one for your next book!
Beautiful freckles.
Stunning stunning stunning. Beauty, elegance, grace & dignity.
Very much a handsome Irish colleen.....could have stepped right out of James Joyce.......I'm looking forward to some more shots of Irish types......there's no shortage of interesting material.......you should have timed your visit for the Dublin horse show which would have provided a bonanza.....the horses look pretty good too.
<3
so elegant!
So Beautiful Gorgeous girl....
something in her look/smile reminded me about Donna Karan's confidence.
Nuce shot!
I love her expression.
Love her freckles. Gorgeous!
what a great photo!
DEFINETELY ELEGANT. AND CHIC IN HER BEAUTIFUL FACE. LOVE IT.

CHICMUSE
Really stunning... this image feels like detox after the month of high fashion! She just seems so regular and spectacular. It's lovely :)
I WANT Freckles !!!
Great photo, so simple and elegant
Gorgeous skin tone. The whiter the better.
Pietro
So beautiful!
This makes me appreciate my own freckles more, and her dress is so neat!
One of the best pictures ever. So lively, so mysterious, colorful and quiet at the same time.
Bravo!!
This is easily the most breathtaking shot you have ever taken. The print, pops of red, freckles... those are eyes that say something. Lovely.
xx
Stunning picture that shows how freckles can be as flattering as the multicoloured pattern on her dress.
Was this taken at the bar in Harvey Nicks I wonder?
Your talk at the Gallery of Photography was really inspiring, thanks for coming to Dublin and hope we'll get to see some on-the-street shots as well :)
Que sutileza fofa!!!

Stunning portrait. The light is absolutely gorgeous and well captured in this photograph.
Though some may see this as a tad stereotypical, for me it's the perfect selection for your first published Irish portrait. She embodies everything I love about Irish women--the fair skin, the gentle countenance, the quiet confidence--and brings to mind every generation of Irish women I've had the pleasure to know.
Love redheads and freckles =)
FashionSnag
Beautiful! Reminds me of a painting by Vermeer.
lover her freckles!!
I like her hairstyle.
Angelic.
An amazing portrait. I feel as if I'm sharing a drink with her!
This is a beautiful portrait.
It's not about fashion, but about the personality
and a slice in a passage of time.
love the fabric
Lately your photos have become softer and sweeter. Are they expressing your current state of mind? :D lovely as always....
http://1stylebook.blogspot.com/
this woman is softly beautiful but it's the fabric, pattern and poppy red belt around her dress that i love. definitely a sartorial moment that i can emulate.
What a beautiful shot. The girl is not your classical beauty, but Scott just brings out the best in everyone..Bravo!
Am I the only one who thought the print was repeating old Apple Mac computer logo?
It's a beautiful, anyway.
And she is stunning. Is she a dancer? Her hands -- well, everything about her natural poise -- so graceful and feminine.
i know this may sound strange but this photo reminds me of india, or sould i say an elegant indian woman i once saw in the indian occupied territory of Kashmir - she was a native and she had red hair such a complexion and freckles. extraordinary . i wonder have u ever thought to go to india? do u have plans to travel and take photos of stylish people in the other half of the world? i would love to know!
beautiful--what a wonderful portrait
simply irresistible!
Beautiful photo. The light is so amazing.
Love the print of her dress.

As an Italian we normally cant wait for summer to work on becoming even darker. This photo shows you can also look nice with pale skin.
Damn, i wish so bad have their sy~tyle :c
Wow, what a beautiful woman! She's made me a feel a burst of renewed affection for my own fair complexion :-)
oh man, I want skin like that.
This is really a "Portrait." The way a portrait should be--evocative, personal, beautiful, elegant, intriguing. One of your best pictures yet.
xo
Julia
Hurrah, proof that we're not all orange!
I've been back to look at this picture about five times today. Definitely something special about it. Beautiful portrait - the eyes! And boo to whoever said the pale hands weren't 'aesthetically pleasing'. People come in lots of different colours you know - we're not all a WASP-y American beige.
Well done, Sart, looking forward to more.
This is a beautiful portrait. gorgeous light and girl.
love it.
What a fab shot. Scott, how do you do it? She is not beautiful but yet you have managed to make her look good! This is prob someone you would pass on the street and not be impressed with. Yet, give Scott that camera and look what he can do. Thank you for all your wonderful shots.
beautiful pic !!
gorgeous
What a beautiful girl. She has natural grace and elegance to spare. She actually reminds me of princess Beth Ruspoli, an irish descent American who married Italian royalty.
Beautiful picture ! I love her dress.
It was really great to meet you on friday.^^ Thanks for coming to Dublin !
This is such a beautiful image. The lighting, her dress, and her gaze. I also love the way she casually holds the steam of the wine glass. Nice work!
The freckles are brilliant; they really make her complexion pop!
Makes me wanna wear her dress and drink her wine :)
Very elegant, great light, good job both of you !
Love the lighting..and she is just so fresh faced. It's refreshing:)
http://loveyourfabulousself.blogspot.com/
wow this is such a great photo!
This is what I call a beautiful and artistic portrait. Good job Sart.
Looks almost like a silk Kimono, the way the material flows. An ageless pose and almost Mona Lisa like expression. And the long, pale fingers on the bar, with the crooked pinky--the translucent quality of her skin hints at vulnerability that belies the mature woman pose, to my eye anyway.
Nice shot. Makes me want to buy the book.
Thanks for coming to Dublin & signing my copy of that fab book!
This is a nice shot; not sure everyone has told you yet {;D
Hope you got to take some street shots while here and hope to see them up on the blog too!
it is a nice photo, but thats a terrible dress, makes her look much older than i'm sure she is.
This lady is so beautiful. The mixture between freckles and this stylish dress make her look really sexy. If I woul be closer to Dublin I woul like to approach her and kiss her inmediatly.
Why don't I live in Ireland for meeting her?
This has to be the woman that Luke Kelly describes in his song 'On Raglan Road': "On Raglan Road on an autumn day I saw her first and knew, that her dark hair would weave a snare that I might one day rue".
M-A-G-N-I-F-I-Q-U-E, is what I pronounced when I saw the picture of this beautiful young lady.
Thank you
So obvious , so obvious, so obvious.
My God. Ireland = freckles, pale skin, red hair and booze in the hand.
Nothing wrong with this woman. She's grand but this was just so predictable.
Interesting that after your heavily advertised rendez vous that there is only one photograph. I'm not sure whether the oh-so-predictable Maureen O' Hara hunt is a reflection on slim pickings or a total lack of imagination on your part?
the most beautiful thing about your posts are the actual pictures.
You take the best photos compared to the other bloggers.

this dress (?) is fantastic! And it's great that this girl is freckled, it's so charming.

adorable vintage-esque dress

love the fabric
Sigh...I love redheads. What a gorgeous blouse, and such a lovely face!
I'm in love with this picture!! Its so romantic and beautifull!
"She is not beautiful"?! Are you insane, Anonymous?
I think some people are prejudiced against redheads. I've always admired how Irish redheads dress -- there's no sense of apology or embarrassment (as there is in the UK or the US) associated with being pale and having red hair, and they know how to bring out the best in their inevitably beautiful complexions and gorgeous hair. There's more than one kind of beauty, and it's lovely to see it amplified and appreciated in this way.
Sart, I am a little sad that this is the only shot you could come up with from Dublin. What annoyed me it was so typical...redhair, freckles. My guess is you had to search for her.Nothing to rave about but like always you do get the best out of every shot you take...
Wow this is probably one of my favourite photos ever, Sart! Stunningly elegant and poised.
And that leaf graphic pattern is gorgeous.
She is so beautiful and her dress is so beautiful and portrait is so beautiful! Amazing.
Peace and love!
I agree with Anonymous that this lady is not beautiful,but attractive. Great shot...
I'm sure it's a vintage Jean Muir dress . . .
I too love her freckles. Can´t understand why so many who have them, wish to get rid of them. So nice to see freckles on her arms too. Really charming.
Sart, Am a big fan of yours ,but really .Ireland= redhair=freckles..Does nothing for me...sorry.I don't even like her dress..
She's really beautiful!
she is adorable... meanwhile, how many hundreds of thousands of women hate their red hair, freckles and fair skin? The three very things that make this classic beauty jump off the screen.

"Scott, how do you do it? She is not beautiful but yet you have managed to make her look good! This is prob someone you would pass on the street and not be impressed with." --
Sorry anonymous but I disagree. Scott did not "make her look good", she looks great. She might not be what you think or have been conditioned to think is beautiful, but there is strength in her beauty. And I don't believe that Scott helped her to get dressed nor did he put that exact belt around her waist nor the make-up on her face nor did he ask her to wear her hair up in a style reminiscent of La Bardot.
She enabled Scott's camera to capture her personality and her FANTASTIC STYLE.
oh those freckles! They match with the polka-dots! I love them :)
There is a lot of generosity in this shot - the perfect portrait need not contain all perfection - imperfections retain interest and leave scope for imagination...!
Thankyou!
(pst. The wine glass is complimentary in this shot.)
for anon 4:40
why do you think this is my only dublin shot?
Wow, she is a real beauty! I love this photograph by the way, it's so simple but intense and I love all the colours. My favourite photos on here in months! Hope there's more Dublin photos to come.
This is classy if I do say so myself. She even matches the table. Red lips, red belt, red hair, red in the shirt and a slight rosyness in her skin. Everything is slight enough to not overpower. This works.
Wow, WONDERFUL photograph! Perfect lighting, very crisp. Love it. Also, dying for the dress... and the wine, for that matter. It's been a long day. www.nickiefrye.etsy.com
Just like Coco~!
www.shorewalkers.org
Oh heavens. She is so utterly beautiful!
The most Beautiful woman I have ever seen. What a collection of colors.
What more does this Irishman need to say other than, Erin Go Bragh (Ireland Forever!)
Love the color composition in this shot. Love the way the colors of the blouse are reflected in the glass of wine.
wow
Very lovely!
This is a nice shot. I really appreciate how your photos adapt to the setting (i.e basically window light here) and still make the subject look good.
beautiful women, nice vintaged dress--amazing eyes...
I admire you ability to photograph souls
So glad I stumbled on your lovely lovely blog today, it's always nice to find other blogger out and about on the net!
I must tell you that I like like like your nice blog!
Agneta & Sweden
Love the contrast between the colors, she seems out of time
I am reading some of the comments and had to laugh. Who cares if someone thinks she is not a raving beauty. It is a great shot end of story. Personally I do not like her dress at all. So what, I am only giving my opinion. Sart, gives 100% to all his work and honest he cant please everyone.
Ah, que hermoso!
this is a very gorgeous photo,
it just screams; Artistic.
how can you pull it off to almost making everyday such a special, carasteristic photo?
One of the most beautiful women I've seen on your site.
Everything about her is perfection, right down to the way it looks like she chews her nails.
I wouldn't wear that print in a hundred years, but on her it's divine.
"- the perfect portrait need not contain all perfection - imperfections retain interest and leave scope for imagination...! "
I love your site, not just for your amazing pictures, but for the sheer POETRY of some of your commentors. :o)
i'm so in love with the print on this dress i could die. die.
what is Blathnaid? is it her name? she is lovely,
I got butterflies when I saw her. One of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.
a stunning photo - she's really beautiful. She's so lucky her freckles didn't fade as she grew up! Even better that she hasn't covered them with tons of foundation.
I thought only aussie redheads of irish and scottish descent got that freckley.
She's so lovely!!
i love the way you've shot her too Sart, up close showing her soft skin, her beautiful freckles - really great!
Yes, it would be her name.
Blath means "flower, blossom."in Irish. In legend, Bláthnaid, the reluctant wife of Curai Mac Daire, loved Cúchulainn, her husband's rival. She revealed the secret entrance to her husband's fortress to him by milking her cow and letting the milk run down the hill into a stream. Cúchulainn followed the stream, raided the fortress and rescued Bláthnaid.
Love her freckles
So perfect!
YOU STILL NEED TO COME TO SANTA CRUZ! The convergence point of natural beauty and style, much like this lady here.
Gil, I love what you said almost as much as the photo!
Her freckles are so intoxicating. Lovely shot.
Talk about sophisticated!
She's amazingly beautiful.
The photo's perfect for her!
its so cool everyone is embracing her freckles!
pale is the new tan....fake bake faces look so haggered!
She looks like my mother. It's uncanny. I have never seen another woman who resembles her more closely.
I now know what my skin would look like if I hadn't been born a native floridian, but in a climate such as Ireland's.
Thanks for a pleasant reminder of my Mom.
it could be a portrait by Toulouse Lautrec !!! wonderful pic ! I Love it.
thanks for answering my query about 'Blathnaid' and thanks for the story!
Spectacular! A fine Irish Lassie...
PLEASE tell me where I can find this top/dress.
PLEASE.
This is absolutely my favourite photo of yours ever (and I have been reading every day for a long time). It's so harmonious and graceful...I do hope that you'll be doing another book soon. I've come back to see this photo over and over again in the last couple of days and would love to have a print copy. Congratulations!
lovely textures from freckled complexion to blouse.
so charming...
Soo beautiful

She looks like a beautiful painting!
Love this!
amazing presence. beautifully captured...
It's a funny thing. You shoot style and fashion, and you get high credit for that. I think, though, your best work are portraits. These people feel so very palpable but so completely ethereal at once.
And all very strong. She's a beauty.
A very beautiful and charismatic woman!

gorgeous picture.
scott- i never comment on your blog... but i wanted to say you are a phenomenal photographer. this photo is so unbelievably beautiful. she is RADIANT.
She;s gorgeous, and her dress... awesome :-)
amazing beautiful!!
this pic looks like a modern Rembrandt!
other than the dress she looks like a classical painting. What an Irish beauty! She's stunning!
For the record, it has taken awhile...two years methinks...but, my favorite Sartorialist photo has been dethroned...
Everything about this is divine...
xo
Stunning. Thrilled to see some o' the Irish. I'm hoping the dark, wall planks behind her indicate a true, Irish pub - the wall really makes her beauty pop. Would love more Ireland if you've got it. ~CGD
Une image et une femme élégantes, détachées, colorées et paisibles !
Une beauté !
Merci.
Sophie
Dublin doesn't exactly get a lot of press when it comes to fashion, but I spent two weeks there last year and saw so many wonderfully stylish, non-tourist women. And so many with fab short haircuts. I fell so in love with the city.
She is stunning. And what a perfect textile for her. Gorgeous.
Wow, I am impressed - it is a little bit like a real picture with a real painter, colors, style, eveyrthing amazing!
(thanks "shark mombassa" for the info on the gorgeous dress...!)
it is one of your best pix, fabulous. i like everything, the color of the wine, her dress, her freckles, her color lips. she looks unique.
Oh my goodness ... she is stunning!!!
The print!!!
every speck speaks crisp early autumn to me...reds, yellows, hints of green, creamy white. lovely.
First word in my head? "Beautiful."
Love the freckles, the outfit, everything!
