This gentleman looks like he walked straight out from a film like Casblanca or something. :)

Wow. You are like a Gentleman in an old movie. Fantastic shot.

the style is in their blood..
the seduction too .. :)

You are so right, they definitely do seem to be the star of their own films. If only more people had the confidence and attitude to pull that off! I certainly wish that I could.

Stunning

hi, I'm a swedish girl who love your blog, and it consistently inspire me to pick up my camera and capture that special moment. But I wonder one thing, how much do you photoshop your pictures before you put them on your blog?

I love the title of this photo and its write-up!

I really like that shot. It is so intense! His expression, the style and the shadows combined make the picture quite memorable.

A SENSUAL SEDUCTION, ONE MIGHT SAY…

Dress for comfort, to tell a story, to present your best side, to have fun or to be fun…
Too many people dess only for comfort (tracksuit in the school run?) which to me is passing up on a interesting component of everyday life.
Its like eating only to feel full when food can be nourishment, health, beauty, flavor, enjoyment, company, culture…

Great shot. Milan is all about style! It just does not have to be the it-style: rather your own style. Fashion is temporary, style is eternal, as they always say.

Another incredible photo….
It is always so refreshing to see men and women who enjoy dressing to please themselves and not anyone in particular….

One gets tired of seeing a "sea of jeans" everyday on everyone.

I love the way you reduce entire cities to one line cliches and sterotypes.

*_*

I love to live in this city.

Perfect shot. Nice color shade, not deep black, just perfect. Seduction it is…

Love, love, love your description…"Milanese gentlemen move like they are the star of their own film." Your comments are almost as good as your photographs and that's a SERIOUS compliment! Keep it all coming!

i love how you photograph ordinary (and not-so-ordinary) people like if they were the stars (of their own film).

not only this getleman – all of the photos at this website

Very stylish.

beautiful picture. i completely see what you mean. what a gentleman!

Fantastic shot, as if the man is stealthily making his way to deliver the Maltese Falcon. This photo is about mood and attitude as much as the clothing.

BEAUTIFUL! I hope I can grow older gracefully like this.

Wow,great style

The composition of the photo is wonderful, I love the conversion… beautiful lighting.

a big YES to the monochrome photo. Beautiful!

How do Italian men do it? He is coolness personnified….

Wow, he does look like he walked right out of a Fellini film. Love what you've done with the B & W, these are some of your most compelling photographs. He very put together from head to toe, nicely done!

Oh man, one nurtures this persona, it's not that you just come in/out of it. Somebody like this is likely to look just as [...] in swimwear.

mmmh, he's looking very misterious, maybe you shooted a killer going to make his job… Great shot.

WOW, what a gentleman he looks like a moviestar. I love his hat. Great photo.

Great picture. I just love everything about this man.

Definitely a visual seduction …

i love your imagination in this; the door opens for us to imagine his story, the plot, the drama. beautiful

love!

men the world over: take notes.

"…like they are the star of their own film."

This is a beautiful photograph. Gorgeous. Swagger indeed! xo

Makes me want to hop a plane to Milan NOW.

Perfect commentary – adore the shot. I've known people to whom this applies, but I've never expressed it so perfectly or succinctly. Thanks for that. :)

it's a sexy misterious magic!
XXX JESS

when you are the most handsome gentlemen in the world , you move like a film star =)

This is an incredible shot. Can't wait to get over to Europe & Asia to begin studying fashion.

So DeNero! Such swagger.
Puts me in mind of a Scorcese film too.
I love that softness of all the fabrics shines through in using a black and white shot.
Really really nice. Thank you.
Love from VT

I think the photo is superb… the man in this photo is superb really. But also your comment has opened up my imagination… all of a sudden 'uomo alla milanese' seems like an actual possibility :)

beautiful attire, engaging manner…what's with the drawstring bag?

So fashinating and stilish man! Great picture!

Looks like Gregory Peck. I can almost hear his baritone voice cooing an Italian sweet nothing.

He looks like Telly Savalis. Waiting for him to say, "Who loves ya, Baby?" Great shot you took. He's just ooooozing with style.

Elegant pic!!!!!
Love it!

ah those italians. love the chocolate bw tone.

Love the lighting, movement, and interaction in this photo! What a whimsical reality…beautiful!

A truly beautiful photograph.

i love dropping by your site for some visual fashion candy though my interest really is in food and travel. then again, people interest me just as much. one thing that seem to be a recurring theme here is layering. unfortunately, in an asiatic tropical country layering would be disastrous. the heat is just crazy :)

That photograph ~ the entirety of the composition ~ is the true "visual seduction." Maybe this blog is leading you toward cinematography, Scott.

Beautiful photo!

I love it. I love seeing men who know how to dress.

fashion by 39 steps.. but it is the man in the background and his reflection in the mirror the hail mary

Gorgeous picture. Loving all the details!

Those loafers make me doubt this man, he might some kind of a fake.

Love the lighting on his jacket

Oops I meant Robert Mitchum, not Gregory Peck. Sorry.

So unbelievably film noir-esque. The light across his coat is incredible…it looks almost diffused…through some sort of white sheet or something!

Oh my goodness you are so talented! This photograph is beautiful, as is your subject. He does look like he is involved in some intrigue!

Beautiful man, beautiful outfit, captured in a great photograph and caption!!!

BRAVO!

A truly beautiful shot. You've captured this man's essence.

Could this "personal movie star effect" have something to do with the fact that this shot is in black and white, the subject's clothes harkening back towards a romanticized imagining of a cosmopolitan 40s or 50s?

I also love the write-up and title of this one. He looks like he is from a 1950s film. So classy.
