Scott Schuman, 41, worked in clothing sales and marketing for 15 years, then opened a small showroom to represent young designers. But after 9/11, he closed his business. A self-taught photographer, Schuman started the Sartorialist blog to address the gap between what was shown on the runways and in magazines and what people wore. (Stefano Paltera / For The Times)
