Channeling a little of Lucas here? And wearing his own coat from the 24 Hour Play after-party at the Old Vic, if I am not mistaken.
I love the look on his face here. A mixture of amusement, challenge–that je ne sais quoi that makes him so irresistible. Such a sharp-dressed man, too. A bit of a Mad Men vibe?
I wanted to make this look slightly less like a police line-up (although The Usual Suspects is one of my favorite movies) so I used a Lomo effect to highlight his beautiful face, then added a blue sky with clouds overlay and matte effect. Because he is soooo heavenly, n’est-ce pas?
More of Robert Ascroft‘s wonderful photos of RA with my edits.
Always did love the Burberry coat on him! Doesn’t he look spectacularly stunning there? I’d go off in a swoon I think if I saw him walking towards me looking like that!! *melts into a puddle*
The B&W and the “Rhapsody is Blue” pics are equally gorgeous too. The short hair cut seems to emphasize just how beautifully shaped head he has!
Yeah, it’s a great look on him. Wouldn’t you like to see that coming down the street towards you–even if you did swoon? Hey, he’d probably swoop over to aid you! Beautifully shaped head and a magnificent masculine profile.
If I ever saw him coming down the street I would really have to work hard to stay upright. As for saying anything I don’t think I could and I would be many shades of red in the face. This is the shy me for sure.
I have a fear my jaw might drop open and I would gape like a fish. And likely turn quite rosy, and I am normally a very pale person. 😉
I’ve often loved to fantasize about how I would react if I were ever to run into anyone I admire (such as Mr. Armitage himself-no, ESPECIALLY Mr. Armitage). I would like to think that I would be calm, cool, collected, and my usual chipper self. However… I think, with him, I wouldn’t be able to handle it! My general instinct is that I would either faint or just turn very red, which is a feat because, like you, I’m very pale myself! :3
I know, normally, I really am pretty self-possessed and able to deal with a variety of situations well. But then Richard Armitage is rather out of the ordinary, isn’t he?? 😉 I admire fans who have met him and been able to have some semblance of a conversation with him. Good going!
Should be Rhapsody “in” Blue of course!! Silly me! 🙂 He’s made me all fumbly. 😉 OH NO!! Just noticed yet another typo! End of last line should read, “beautifully shaped his head is.”!! LOL! Looking at this gorgeous man for hours on end has addled my brain for sure! 😀
That’s perfectly OK. He sends things fumblingly from his iPad and he makes us go all fumbly, too! 😀
Well my breath has been totally knocked out of me! *gumpf* I think I need to sit down for a moment…
He does seem to have that effect on many of us, bechep! 😉 We have to remember to b.r.e.a.t.h.e now and then. 🙂
Need to make a poster, “You’re looking at RA–remember to breathe”
LOL Angie! 😀
Have you gotten it back yet, darling?!
Dear heaven! You and Richard do this to me on a dismal soggy Tuesday morning BC (before coffee) with a Pirate King on the rampage… I am not sure I can take it, but I can’t stop looking.
Yes, in the first picture, I like that coat on him and he obviously likes it, too. The Ascroft shots are so unusual, Richard is gorgeous, and I love what you’ve done with these photos. Rowrrrr
Monday was like that for us–dismal and soggy. The sort of day you really need a big does of Mr. A. Really appreciating Mr. Ascroft’s skill and vision as a photographer. Seems to bring out many facets of RA’s character. Glad you like my edits! 😀
Oh Mylanta, that last one… The shading of the blues, the masculine lines of his jaw, chin, and nose, the shape of his broad chest and shoulders… Sorry, I have a shoulder thing, and his are simply perfect!
Back in the day when he was in Cats I found his shoulders impressed me – even in those grainy old videos. Now that we can look at them in high def I find them even more impressive, as is the rest of him! *swoon”
*swoons as well* Teucheter, you’re not alone! 😀
Congrats!!! You have made him look more gorgeous, if it´s possible!!! 🙂
I have really good material with which to work. 😀
