Posting this one again so that I can post the following comment foundon celebitchy.

"A quote from a poster on celebitchy

I find it interesting that Cumbs doesn’t have a more obvious, expression of trying to make the observer think, ‘sexy’, in that first pic, eg there’s no half open mouth or half closed eyes.He apparently, isn’t making an effort.It’s the difference between doing – or being.

The pose, is sexy but nothing else is needed except for him to just look at the camera. If someone said, ” Think ‘romantic hero’, go a bit Byronesque “, the result is a managing to get many people to react to that image without having had to give many really obvious cues to get, that reaction.

Romantic heroes don’t have to, try. They don’t give a stuff and they inhabit the moor, the stately home, the gypsy caravan or whatever,being indifferent, free and not, making an effort to charm others-until the right woman comes along, haha.

It’s not actually arrogance..which is also absent from the picture – it’s just natural. Whether people fancy Cumbs or not and I’m not actually posting about that,in rambling about what I think the photograph is about.

I think it’s a very clever portrait. He’s brilliant at ‘inhabiting’ characters and I think the picture suggests, ” Cast him in a romantic leading man role”. I think it’s like a still, of an potential role and that it works. It didn’t even need a backdrop, props or costume, for most people to get the ‘message’and Annie Leibovitz often uses, all of those.

The direct but almost passive, stare is similar to what one would see from a beautiful wild cat in repose,, just staring back at you.It’s not trying, to impress or engage -it just – is.

Great example I think of subject and photographer capturing what was intended, ie ‘Perfect Storm’-natural havoc, almost impassive to the havoc caused. Romanticism as a waterfront, has been well and truly covered."

Can I get an AMEN sisters!

Cumbs? *rolls eyes* I'm afraid I couldn't hear anything that person was saying after that.

@ancientsgate. I know what you mean, I just kinda giggled and flitted my gaze over that term

He may not be so condusive to summertime, but I suddenly have this image of wintertime, and instead of using a woodstove/fireplace or some other form of heat, Benedict could just come over...he would make a most excellent form of heat to snuggle up too!

SolarSystem · August 22, 2013 12:11 pm

Uhm, when does wintertime start again...?

tobeornot221b · August 22, 2013 12:15 pm

I'd say, in our country most of the year seems to be winter time...
