He describes his philosophy as trying to echo how fashion designers looked at what they saw on the street:Schuman has taken photos in different locations besides New York, often Paris and Milan when he has gone there for fashion shows. His subjects range from fashion celebrities like Karl Lagerfeld to unidentified regular people.

He says his inspiration was a picture of a man on an empty street taken by German photographer August Sander.Schuman, Scott; April 5, 2007; [http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html#8444985737375191905 My Inspiration - August Sander] ; "The Sartorialist"; retrieved from thesartorialist.blogspot.com April 5, 2007.]

Schuman began getting other work from serious fashion publications. Condé Nast tapped him to do something similar during Fashion Week in Paris for its style.com website. He also regularly works events for Saks Fifth Avenue, and says French "Vogue" editor Carine Roitfeld has also talked to him about doing something for her magazine.
