California native Dyanna Dawson first began documenting street style in 2009 when she teamed up with photographer J.T. Tran to launch their San Francisco blog, Street Fashion Style *(thesfstyle.com)*. The project went bicoastal two years ago when she moved to NYC, where the Hell’s Kitchen resident continues to search for one-of-a-kind pedestrians. Most recently, the duo penned a new book, *Street Fashion Photography: Taking Stylish Pictures on the Concrete Runway* ($20, Chronicle Books), which serves as a user-friendly manual for both beginner and seasoned shutterbugs. Although Dawson is selective when choosing her subjects, she’s always prepared to nail the perfect shot, toting either her Canon 5D or Olympus Pen E-P1 camera at all times. “I look for someone who is exemplifying a new trend that I haven’t photographed before or someone who takes a trend that I’ve shot a dozen times and puts their own spin on it to make it refreshing again,” she explains. We took the increasingly mainstream art form back underground—literally—by scouting the subway platforms at the Union Square and Broadway–Lafayette Street stops for fashionable commuters.

Dyanna Dawson, Street Fashion Style blogger and coauthor of Street Fashion Photography: Taking Stylish Pictures on the Concrete Runway, is no stranger to trailing stylish New Yorkers for the perfect shot. We had her guest-edit Time Out New York’s street-fashion column, scouting the Union Square and Broadway–Lafayette Street subway platforms for fashionable straphangers. We encountered commuters in tailored suiting from Theory and Calvin Klein, timeless vintage threads from Fox & Fawn, and basics from chains such as Uniqlo and Zara.
