The Sartorialist: Milano
Camera in hand, prowling the streets of Milan for the best part of 20 years, Scott Schuman has been documenting the Italian city’s famously well-dressed residents. Even the pensioners popping out for a cheeky Campari look as if they’ve been lightly styled by Miuccia Prada. For Schuman, better known as social media master The Sartorialist, it’s fertile ground. He’s made a career out of catching such people in their natural habitat.

Smartphone makers take the long view
It's also been a busy year for smartphone makers, particularly in the hyper-competitive Android market. Beyond Al features, slimmer dimensions and beefed-up battery life, some cool technology came to the fore, exemplified by the Oppo Find X9 Pro. As well as being able to capture still photos at 50MP by default on all three rear cameras, a new Hasselblad Hi Res mode enables you to shoot 200MP still images. While this feature might seem overkill for a comparatively small phone sensor, it gives lots of cropping flexibility.
