These latest photos are from a quick visit to Camden Town whilst covering the areas of Camden High St, Camden Road, near Camden tube and of course the all important Camden market. About 4 hours in total with a 1 hour lunch break in Chalcot Sq NW1 in Primrose Hill in the private gardens in the middle of the square. A very nice part of the world!

Headline girl for this shoot was the mirror shades and skyscraper heel ankle boots above chilling out on a cycle stand next to a recycle bin outside Sainbury’s on the Camden Rd. The sun was catching her hair real good. Couldn’t resist. She seemed up for being snapped as well. Result!

Set myself  a tough agenda for this day. Was on the look out for something a bit different to what you get down say Knightsbridge or Kings Road in Chelsea or Oxford St/Regent St. Fashionistas that are bit more Urban, Gritty, Punky and Grungy were the words leaping into my brain.

The look required was more a sort of middle finger to the establishment and pushing those boundaries a bit with tattoos, piercings, strange hair colouring, big boots, grunge, unconventional hair styles, funky jewellery or just wearing ordinary gear but having that alternative swagger and attitude that Camden is renowned for. No Top Shop, Zara, Gap or Next here…….. with the greatest respect to those brands. I can get those shots down the West End any day of the week.

Loads of attractive women at Camden market, could have taken 200 or so pictures of tourists with mid riffs aplenty, but something different was required from this visit instead of your bog standard shades, top, jeans or leggings and sneakers ensemble. In short I was looking for fashion guts, something that the vast majority would be terrified to try, would look ridiculous or maybe wouldn’t be able to walk in without hanging on railings for support. I was looking for that fashion beyond fashion that never goes out of fashion because it’s so out on the edge.

The results of this bar raising fashionista spotting excercise that can only be done in Camden is below. Only 10 caught my eye on the day and made the grade!

Two Tone Hair Fashionista and Asian Fashionista Old Compton Street Soho W1  Nokia 635 Mobile

With the temperatures hovering around the freezing mark last week with the Wind chill factor added in the mix, it’s all hats, scarves, coats and boots with a few exceptions. No bare legs or mid riffs here.

The usual locations appear with Oxford Street, Regent Street, Soho and Covent Garden especially the Piazza providing the goods with a sprinkling of Tourists.

Always looking for something a bit different, someone that takes a few risks, doesn’t follow the herd, isn’t afraid to use colour, has the walk and a number of other factors. Sometimes the outfit is average but still something is going on regardless, they are here also. All photos via my mobile so photo quality is not cutting edge! Latest fashion patrol results below.

Mobile and Big Bag Fashionistas on a shopping mission in Regent Street W1  Canon DSLR

London Fashion Patrol January 2015 Part 3. Bringing you the latest street and fashion styles from the streets of London. Normal everyday women that have something going on, have their own style, are attractive and stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons.

No posed shots, all taken on the fly in Central London by pounding the streets. Bringing you the more candid look. With casual, smart, grungy and urban fashion styles all making an appearance with full length or closer portrait shots but trying to capture as much of the London Street environment that they are in as much as possible. I call it Fasharazzi..

All Black Layered Fashionista Cambridge Circus WC2  Canon DSLR

All shots in Part 3 are from the Regent Street, Oxford Street and Covent Garden and Soho areas as usual. This seems to be the hot zone. With some decent light appearing over the last couple of days it’s been a case of literally “making hay while the sun shines”

Fashionistas that appear are tourists and others are locals. All taken with a Canon DSLR and shot from the hip “streetstyle”. I call it freestyle minds eye subconscious shooting with no constraints of viewfinder or LCD screen. Put simply it’s No big black box in the way. Others call it “spray and pray” but that technique doesn’t produce consistent results like this. Good old natural shots as if I wasn’t even there. Some of the more perceptive women do clock me though especially with the DSLR but if they are neutral or give me a half or warm smile then they are here. If it’s otherwise then they are not.

Pushing the creative boundaries with fashionistas running, closer shots, two or three in one shot, juxtapositions and some pre planned shots where the lighting is a bit more cutting edge giving the photos a bit more bite.
