The Alternative Sartorialist.
My friends, allow me to introduce Albrecht Tubke, the German version of the the Sartorialist. Although both photographers shoot real people on the street (or foot path, as the case may be), their methods are quite different: The Sartorialist walks around New York, searching for fashionable subjects, while Tubke parks himself in one spot and waits for people to come by. (As gallerist James Danziger said, "Sart’s a hunter, Tubke’s a gatherer.") And Tubke seems less concerned with haute couture and more interested in everyday people. Let's take a look at some of his subjects...
They live in cities:
They live in the country:
They wear suits:
They wear denim:
They come in pairs:

the little twins are fantastic.
i love these images! thank you for yet another inspirational site.
Great to know. I've been reading the Fashionist for a while. Its the bohemian San Francisco version.
Dude, this is brilliant, I love it, thanks for sharing!
It's fantastic to see the attention shifting when it's not about beautiful, modern or new clothing but the person, the face (not necessarily beautiful), the pose, the mimics and so on...
I agree with stilinberlin. I'm glad to see some naturality and rawness matching great photography. Thanks for this post.
yes, i agree, it's nice to have regular real people--i love the guy in the denim. he is just so awesome and i would love to sit down with him for tea and hear his stories.
really great to have an alternative like this. i love the guy in the denim too and the man in the suit. thanks for this. i love reading blogs like yours because of its freshness...its like i'm learning something new everytime...thanks!
I prefer these photos than the sartorialist, more interesting!
These are really more like portraits, rather than simple clothing studies. Lovely. Thanks so much for this!
these have such a lovely quality about them. they really are like portraits.

i love the man in the suit! he looks like a real character!
yeah, that guy in the denim totally has character!
oh nice!
The older woman with the walking stick looks like she just stepped out of a Breugel painting. The twin girls look like they stepped out of The Shining.
i love the twins. it seems almost impossible that this could be true.
I love the sartorialist - his shots are perfection!
these pictures are amazing.
I love these. There's just something extra wonderful about capturing the beauty of everyday people in everyday clothes... thanks for sharing!
yeah, h.garr, the twins must have been pre-arranged. but i think the others just came upon him.... xo
people are truly incredible! How amazing are all these pics?!
How fabulous. Love the pairs.

The pairs are my favorites!
Oh, thanks for this site! I love Sart's pictures, but these are really so different - more anthropological.
Doing some blog catchup on the weekend. Love this! There's somehow a heck of a lot of story in each of these photos, and not just a "fashion story".
