Comments on "On the Street....Blathnaid, Dublin"
Stunning!
she's so beautiful.
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!
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
the freckles make an otherwise dull picture quite nice.
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 =)
You're Finally coming to SF! Looking forward, indeed! Great work, my dear. Sincerely inspirational.

Irish Eyes are Definitely Smiling :)
how completely spectacular
wonderful, everything
her hair, her freckles, the print, how she is resting her chin on her hand so lightly
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 :-)
A lovely lady in such a lovely picture. I love the colors and the contrast.
What a BEAUTY!!!! This photograph is stunning!!!
Wonderful girl!!
What man would not kill to be drinking wine with this stunner, I would ask her to marry me on our first date.
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.
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.
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!

BEAUTIFUL COLOURS!!
Pipi Longstocking gone stylish.... I like it.
They're colorful leaves! I thought they were fish at first. Lovely and freckly
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.
Elegante, muy elegante y serena!
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!
Sooo eleglance.
shes so stunning, I love her dress sooo much
xxx
Her hair, complexion, outfit and beverage seem to match - capturing a moment...
Beautiful girl, great clothes, beautiful photo.
What a gorgeous (vintage?) dress!!!
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/
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'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, great picture, Scott!
Her freckles go well with her dress.
love hear freckles.
so cute.
Wow.
She personifies that one syllable word of two consonants and one vowel. stunning.
Are you coming to Australia?
gorgeaus!
A young Kate Hepburn....
What a fantastic shot. The woman and the dress are stunning.
Thats a Great Photo!
I love the pattern on her dress, but most of all I LOVE her skin! She has such a fresh and natural beauty.
Nice print¡
Kisses from Spain:
DELIA
A wonderful natural fresh Irish 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!
What a fantastic picture. Freckles makes the most interesting and beautiful skin.
Thank you for al your beautiful pictures:-)
Oh my... I don't really care for her dress, but she's absolutely gorgeous!
beautiful...you can tell shes a very genuine person it reflects in her eyes and her unpretentious demeanor..
harmony!!! So nice...thank you
she looks a lot like blake lively!
this is a beautiful portrait of a beautiful woman. she looks so fresh and unaffected.
This picture is so beautiful!
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.
Lovely image-just right for the best of Dublin and Ireland-elegant and comfortable and understated.
Beautiful! Love her dress and love the way she is pictured.
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. :)
-Natalie
She's stunning, great picture!
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!
so elegant!
<3
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 stunning stunning. Beauty, elegance, grace & dignity.
Stunning! She looks a bit like Taghrid..
neutraltuesday.blogspot.com
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!
love her! the colors are perfect. wishing i had freckles...
lovely woman but no great "on the street" fashion from dublin? a little too "obvious" for the Sartorialist i know and adore.
alexander
Beautiful freckles.
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
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...
The only thing unfashionable about this lovely lass is that she has a glass of white wine rather than one of traditional Guinness or Murphy's stout.
chsw
Really nailed this one w/the lighting, great photo
Her beauty is timeless like the oicture itself.
I love her red hair and freckles and natural elegance, and that touch of shyness.Irresistible!
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!
Beautiful! Reminds me of a painting by Vermeer.
Love redheads and freckles =)
FashionSnag
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.
Stunning portrait. The light is absolutely gorgeous and well captured in this photograph.
Que suliteza mais fofa!!!!

fishy dress! so cool. and she looks like my kinda girl with the glass of white wine.

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 :)
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
This is such a lovely portrait. The graphic print and primary colors play nicely against the softness of the light and her complexion. And the glints of light on the glass make it all perfect.
One of the best pictures ever. So lively, so mysterious, colorful and quiet at the same time.
Bravo!!
This makes me appreciate my own freckles more, and her dress is so neat!
Gorgeous skin tone. The whiter the better.
Pietro
So beautiful!
Great photo, so simple and elegant
Now, THAT girl can wear red lipstick!!! Beautiful photo..
Do you give your lucky "subjects" a print of the picture you take of them?
This would be something to display proudly!!!
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 !!!
DEFINETELY ELEGANT. AND CHIC IN HER BEAUTIFUL FACE. LOVE IT.

she's so gorgeous...i love her pale skin color with her freckles and red hair...beautiful!
and i love her dress pattern...looks like the original Apple computer logo in leaf form.
what a great photo!
adorable vintage-esque dress
http://www.joandjoenyc.com {shop}
What a beautiful shot. The girl is not your classical beauty, but Scott just brings out the best in everyone..Bravo!
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.
This is a beautiful portrait.
It's not about fashion, but about the personality
and a slice in a passage of time.
Lately your photos have become softer and sweeter. Are they expressing your current state of mind? :D lovely as always....
http://1stylebook.blogspot.com/
love the fabric
love the fabric
An amazing portrait. I feel as if I'm sharing a drink with her!
Angelic.
this dress (?) is fantastic! And it's great that this girl is freckled, it's so charming.

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?
lover her freckles!!
I like her hairstyle.
the most beautiful thing about your posts are the actual pictures.
You take the best photos compared to the other bloggers.

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
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/
The freckles are brilliant; they really make her complexion pop!
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".
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 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!
Beautiful picture ! I love her dress.
It was really great to meet you on friday.^^ Thanks for coming to Dublin !
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.
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.
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
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.
This is really a "Portrait." The way a portrait should be--evocative, personal, beautiful, elegant, intriguing. One of your best pictures yet.
xo
Julia
oh man, I want skin like that.
Wow, what a beautiful woman! She's made me a feel a burst of renewed affection for my own fair complexion :-)
Damn, i wish so bad have their sy~tyle :c
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.
I wonder why I love her freckles, pale skin and red hair? LOL
not sure if many people could pull off that print, but it suits her perfectly. what could look decidedly boho on some looks quite elegant on her.
simply irresistible!
Beautiful photo. The light is so amazing.
Love the print of her dress.
http://fashionroadkill-halifax.blogspot.com
beautiful--what a wonderful portrait
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!
it's as though her freckles add another pattern to the mix, so enchanting. so wonderful.
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.
This is what I call a beautiful and artistic portrait. Good job Sart.
wow this is such a great photo!
Sigh...I love redheads. What a gorgeous blouse, and such a lovely face!
"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.
I'm in love with this picture!! Its so romantic and beautifull!

"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.
I cannot resist letting you all know her dress is Jean Muir. She looks stunning, but thats because of the quality of this human being. She is kind, sensitive, intelligent and creative, something we can all aspire to don't you think? And Scott how smart of you to recognize her qualities out of all the people you could have and did meet in Dublin. More of this please and less of the obvious that we can see in any fashion shoot or magazine.u
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.
She's really beautiful!
Beautiful portrait, Scott.
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..
I'm sure it's a vintage Jean Muir dress . . .
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...
Wow this is probably one of my favourite photos ever, Sart! Stunningly elegant and poised.
And that leaf graphic pattern is gorgeous.
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...
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.)
There s millions of these in Ireland come get your wifey!!
The most Beautiful woman I have ever seen. What a collection of colors.
i love how the colors in her face mirror the colors of her dress
What more does this Irishman need to say other than, Erin Go Bragh (Ireland Forever!)
Oh heavens. She is so utterly beautiful!
Just like Coco~!
www.shorewalkers.org
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
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, 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.
for anon 4:40
why do you think this is my only dublin shot?
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.
love the print! it's so 40's and something Paul Smith would totally do.
http://rafeloves.rafe.com
wow
Very lovely!
Love the color composition in this shot. Love the way the colors of the blouse are reflected in the glass of wine.
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!
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.
I got butterflies when I saw her. One of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.
what is Blathnaid? is it her name? she is lovely,
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
i'm so in love with the print on this dress i could die. die.
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?
it's a great portrait, for all the reasons that had been expressed above.
funny thing is unlike a few posters, i did not find her to be the stereotypical irish lady, but just a great looking woman in a great photograph, who happened to have pale & freckled complexion and reddish hair, and was in dublin
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 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.
Love the contrast between the colors, she seems out of time
I admire you ability to photograph souls
beautiful women, nice vintaged dress--amazing eyes...
Love her freckles
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.
So perfect!
Gil, I love what you said almost as much as the photo!
YOU STILL NEED TO COME TO SANTA CRUZ! The convergence point of natural beauty and style, much like this lady here.
Please bring us tons more Ireland pictures!! Amazing
Talk about sophisticated!
She's amazingly beautiful.
The photo's perfect for her!
Her freckles are so intoxicating. Lovely shot.
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.
Phenomenal. Something about the way the play of color on her dress reflects the play of colorful freckles and red hair that makes this shot so perfect.
its so cool everyone is embracing her freckles!
pale is the new tan....fake bake faces look so haggered!
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!
PLEASE tell me where I can find this top/dress.
PLEASE.
thanks for answering my query about 'Blathnaid' and thanks for the story!
Spectacular! A fine Irish Lassie...
it could be a portrait by Toulouse Lautrec !!! wonderful pic ! I Love it.
lovely textures from freckled complexion to blouse.
