1:35 On The Street: Four Eyes
When the Auckland-based street-style fashion blog Four Eyes was born, Chin Tay – (one of four photographers) had no idea how to use a camera. It was four friends who had an undeniable love for fashion, and the blog was a way for them to capture the kind of ‘style(s)’ that they found inspiring. These days their cameras are always at-the-ready in the hopes to spot some ‘fashion talent.’ The blog is clean-line and minimalist with a focus on imagery. Sonia Sly catches up with Danny Simmons and Chin Tay to burn some calories on the streets of Ponsonby in Auckland to discuss fashion, photography, and the thrill of the chase!
