What is amazing about Vanessa Jackman's street style blog is that she has an eye quite distinct from her colleagues. Even as she gets the light, mood, and angles right one gets a clear sense that she is attracted by different things.
Comparing pictures of the same person taken by other street style bloggers, her camera captures a little more warmth. Her images are a bit more personal, nearer to the people than those taken by industry stalwarts.
