Go backstage with Tommy Ton, fashion’s hottest photo blogger and street style photographer at Milan and Paris Fashion week. In this exclusive behind the scenes video we discover why Tommy Ton’s passionate eye and love of fashion has made him the most influential street style photographer working today.

A self described “fashion paparazzi” Tommy documents the exotic trends, the colorful accessories and the stylish people at fashion month for Style.Com and GQ.COM and his popular blog Jak&Jil.

As Tommy explains the internet and the digital age has given people the chance to become a working professional overnight, “the fashion show is the new red carpet, everybody wants to be a part of this world, it’s not so exclusive anymore. With the whole boom of the internet and blogging and twitter, people have become so connected to each other – it’s a community that has grown so fast.”  

MODTV’s cameras captured Tommy in action from Milan to Paris and we spoke with some of his friends and fashion bloggers including Bryan Boy, Scott Schuman aka The Sartorialist, Garance Dore and fashion editor Anna Dello Russo.  What’s life of the hottest street style photo blogger really like?  Watch our exclusive fashion film of street style photographer Tommy Ton here now and find out.  Download this fashion video on the MODTV Mobile App at iTunes or Google Play.
