FACE HUNTER

More than just a street style photographer, Yvan Rodic also known as Face Hunter is a cultural explorer or 'blogtrotter’—
a new breed of traveler on a perpetual mission to scout out the latest global trends and current cultural happenings. 

Rodic (1977-) was Born in Vevey, a French-speaking part of Switzerland. After studying Communication at Polycom Lausanne he took on copy writing stints for Leo Burnett and Saatchi & Saatchi in Geneva, Brussels and
Paris. 
A born trend-spotter with a natural eye for photography, it was not long before he combined writing for magazines with snapping pictures of people at art events in his then home, Paris. 

In February 2006,he began posting the results online: and just like that, Face Hunter was born. When he began, streetstyle blogging was still in its infancy: in part it is thanks to his work that it has subsequently become a
phenomenon. As one of those to experience first-hand the insatiable public appetite for a more democratic view on fashion.
Just four years on, Yvan found himself amongst a select group—one of fashion's “power bloggers” featured in
the March 2010 issue of American Vogue magazine alongside Garance Doré, Tommy Ton, Haneli and Todd Selby. Widely considered one of the most influential movers and shakers in fashion, his original blog and more
recent Visual Diary receive approximately 1.5 million hits per month. Over this short period, Yvan has been at the vanguard of one of the decade’s most remarkable trends. With the telling tag line: “Eye Candy for
the Style Hungry” above portraits of individual characters with arresting styles, Face Hunter instantly developed a
reputation for being one of the most satisfying style destinations online.
