Street Fashion Blog Opinion Piece
I think Stefania Yarhi will be successful in her blogging quest to build a career because her website is original and it has been gaining more and more buzz after Yarhi and this site were profiled on MuchMusic and Elle Canada. This recognition can only get people talking and get her site more hits with people interested in her work.
Blogs are good avenues to use as a portfolio because not only is it a place to store all your work but you can also share it with others. With your thoughts, designs and work on a public place for all to see it gets your work recognition and also people can provide praise and criticism to you.
The essence of Street Style Fashion Photography is to show street fashion. The blog shows real people with their different unique fashions walking around the streets of Toronto. The blog is shot guerilla style in the streets and at fashion shows.
Yarhi created the blog because she has a passion for fashion photography and she wanted to put her foot in the door of that business. Not only did she just want to pay the bills but she also wanted to gain some followers and receive recognition from people in the fashion business.
The blog had defiantly opened doors for Yarhi, as she was profiled in the shopping magazine Loulou and Muchmusic produced a 3 minute segment on her as a street photographer. That job led her to being Muchmusic’s correspondant for the Toronto Fashion Week. Elle Canada hired her to do street style photo shoots. Her reputation came to the attention of editors at the alternative weekly, NOW, where she shoots the popular "My Style" feature.
She promotes her blog through promoting it in her other works with Elle and Muchmusic. By making friends with other blogs, people can easily link to her site. She also gets the word out on Facebook, Twitter and other blogs. Social Media really helps her branch out.
