On the Street....Blathnaid, Dublin

Comments on "On the Street....Blathnaid, Dublin"

 

Anonymous Dustyflint said ... (3:50 AM) : 

Stunning!

 

Anonymous Lucia said ... (3:55 AM) : 

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!

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. :)

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.

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 =)

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.

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.

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?

Anonymous 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 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...

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.

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.

YOU STILL NEED TO COME TO SANTA CRUZ! The convergence point of natural beauty and style, much like this lady here.

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.

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.

And all very strong. She's a beauty.

For the record, it has taken awhile...two years methinks...but, my favorite Sartorialist photo has been dethroned...

Everything about this is divine...

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.
