Wa! Like an awesomr 19th century painting. For some reason he reminds me of a far more stylish "american gothic"

Excuuuuuse me? What did you say?

This guy is it!

Almost Don Quixote! The beard is perfect, that raised eyebrow, and the hat is just the right barber's basin shape, but felt rather than metal. How cool.

Is this supposed to be a parody of a Hasid, just like that scene in Annie Hall, where Alvy Singer meets the Hall family goyim?

My word! It's Sigmund Freud!
But sexy. Which I'm sure he'd have a few things to say about…

At first when I looked at this guy I noticed his beard and thought "old man", but he appears to have very few wrinkles so perhaps he is actually not very old at all? Great portrait.

The raised eyebrow is amazing, wish I could pull that off and still manage to look dignified.

looks like an actor! love the glimpse in his eye…

What a fantastic face!!!!

with a beard like that

I don't care what you are wearing

No wrong can be done

though he is eerily clean

One of my absolute favorites yet! everything is so great – the hat, the beard, the quizzical eyes, the subtle 'beauty spot', the color.

So much to look at here!

And not a collared shirt in sight… interesting

I love this guy´s style, except for the weird facial expression, wonderful scarf!

the things that separate one man's style from another can be simple but have drastic effects. take away the hat, beard and the drooping pocket square and i could see myself in this outfit. however adding these simple elements completely transforms the look and makes it personal to him and no one else.

this man's face is wonderful

Costume National meets the Amish – I love this! GR8 shot!

The droopy pocket square and bite marks(?) on his hat define this picture just as much as his definitive beard! His look almost dares you to question his unique style.

Looks like a little mouse has nibbled at the end of the hat there on the right side.
It makes it look like there's a story behind it.
Love it.

who took a bite of his hat?

pocket square and color combo

You've captured him. I could write an entire book about this photo. Absolutely amazing. And his hat! It looks like something nibbled at the brim. I want to see more…this is so great. His skin is very young-looking. His beard must be dyed. Not that a dyed beard makes any less an impact on me. On the contrary, he seems more fascinating considering it to be true. Cheers!

That is an amazing portrait.

I like where you are going at the moment, with the portraits. They capture so much about a person, and their style.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
YOU SHARE WITH US AN OTHER WAY TO CAPTURE FASHION….AND I LIKE IT SO MUCH !!!
BRAVOOOOOOOOOO !
KISS !
==========================================================

The portrait of a true original…the beard, the nibbled hat, the silk scarf I love. The rest seems overcalculated. With an expression like this, you expect him to be dressed in a way that says "who cares?"

I want to marry this man

and stroke his beard.

I particularly like his handkerchief folded to perfection. His hat too..very chic meets amish country.

As for the look you photographed, Scott, I love it. The post of lifting an eyebrown fits this man's personality..at least as far as I can tell. Makes me laugh.

I have never seen that texture on this fabric (and I work in fashion.. lol), He has lots of elegance.

another face surrounded by fur?

He definitely fits the part. He looks like a hilarious person…love the coat and hat.

I'm loving your renewed interest in portraits, though many if not most of your best are portraits if not in the strictest sense. Keep them coming!

I think I'll call him Jedidiah…love the outfit and the facial expression~
"Whadda ya want?"

You could write a whole story just from this one simple picture…AWESOME!

nostalgic!

I Love the combo of the vest, blazer, scarf and hat. So stylish and effortless!

I love the grand mixture of texture, both human and textile.

looks like a slight exposure problem there, though. No bracketing?

Scott, You've done it again – fantastic shot !

WONDERFUL!

… Its like he know something we don't..

(what is that detail on the side of his hat? Bite marks?)

that beautiful white scarf around his neck and tucked into his vest absolutely makes this whole man's image work for me.

The details on this man are amazing. His thick white beard adds a lot of wisdom while his dark eyebrows and playful expression add a dash of youthfulness that truly brings out a unique character. I love how his pocket square is limply draping as if it were just overly used and watered down.

What a fabulous suit/jacket — love the colors and accessorizing. Great texture, great hat. Thanks for all your wonderful shots — very inspiring. I'm learning more about color and thinking more about it just from looking at your photos.

Wonderful face and expression. You really captured who he is.

The creamy white scarf, brown hat, blue pinstripes…not many people can pull this look off. But he really does!

I've never felt the need to comment on your site, All your photos are great. BUT THIS MAN IS BRILLIANT!

P. x

I love the nicks on his hat and his droopy pocket square!

I think that the expression in the face is what makes this picture so great!

Love the eyebrow, and the hat!

sweet!!!!

i love stiped blazers, they can look sliming

Interesting…

Brilliant character and sartorial choices. The lighting is interesting – how drastically would the interpretation of the subject's expression change if he were to be cast in dramatic shadows?

Es un Quijote!

it's wolderful! again, great details can make an entire outfit… just look at the way his pocket square is arranged and how his hat has several mouse bites on the side. glorious!

When it comes to photography, I love portraits. So I look forward to seeing more of the new direction of your work.
I really like the expression of this gentleman's face & the beard.

Monet.

Very fascinating portrait! He reminds me of an impressionist painter like Claude Monet in his later years. I'd love to know if he has a paint brush and an art palette in his hands. On the other hand, his whole attitude gives the impression that he is painted himself right at the moment. This foto is picture-perfect!

trendy Don Quixote!

I love his pocket square. Like it's depressed and floppy.

pino!

Why is it that I never run into people like this? I look and look. Time to move from Chicago! love the worn out hat!

Funny pic! he reminds me of an old man from the 19th!! :)

amazing eyes!

One of my favorite portrait shots you've taken. This is the equivalent of one of those great 16th century portrait paintings.

hat+face+suit= perfect balance
have you ever thought of shooting some some of the Congolese Sapeurs of Belgium and France?

great shot

The new style of portraits are interesting. Nice artistic shots.

Favorite part of this pic – the little missing pieces from the brim of his hat.
Adds authenticity.
Very nice.

i adore this photo! i think it's his raised eyebrow that perfects it! and his hat…

oh and the beard haha!
beautiful photograph!

excellent. look at that 'bite' on his hat. the pocket square is displayed interesting and the tucked in scarf is superb. this is why i take the time out to visit.

I agree, he looks like the perfect subject for a rich oil painting. He also looks familiar–is it Mick Fleetwood (drummer, Fleetwood Mac)? Mick's a fairly snazzy dresser, and often raises eyebrows (his and those of others). Love the portrait series.

I bit the side of his hat.

WOW–please keep these coming. I am still interested in street photos and interesting people more than fashion editors…. awesome–thanks!

Absolutely great portrait!

I just wanted to say everything about this makes me so happy! Such a wonderful aesthetic is being displayed from the expression to the outfit to the wonderful photography

His beard add pureness to his look. I love his striped jacket.

wow!!! amzing…
great blog..

Brilliant. Enough said.

[sigh and swoon]

Sir, you could give me the incredulous eye any day!

And I'd even let you get all puritanical on my _ss too.

[smiling and naughtily]

Did someone take a bite out of his hat or is that my imagination. Cool guy, great photo.

He looks like Walt whitman

do you sell prints? cause i would like this!

This is one of your best yet! So beautiful.

Sart, I'm loving this series of portraiture, they each have such a painterly feeling about them. There is such range of emotion and really rather telling personalities revealed.

Can't wait for the next one.

am i the only one who thinks this is actually Marc Jacobs?

YES..All around brilliance. The photograph, the facial gestures, the hat, scarf, crew neck, vest and jacket…The folded over pocket square is genius

Im not sure what age he's living in but its working. The raised eyebrow and the bitten hat. An interesting man.

Incredible personal style to the nth degree. Really like the t-shirt under the suit and the hat (did I say I love hats?).

Gah! I think that tanish collar of his [or whatever you call it] is amazing. I like that better than a tie.

I know, dumb ?, but anyone know how achieve that? I am having a wedding this year and I would love my fiance to wear his suit like that instead of using a tie.

no offense to daniel day lewis by any means, but 'there will be blood' was meant for this gentleman.

I enjoy the flaccid pocket square

And his hat which has been a bit eaten lol! funny

What a wonderful portrait !

Love the suit, and the hat, for some strange reason, works perfectly…..and i love its colour

His beard and expression are priceless and totally make this a winning shot !
