They always say, ‘a photo speaks a thousand words’ and it’s true. Photography is, for me, the most beautiful form of art. It is the closest we ever come to seeing something for what it actually was or is now. The most real image, the exact freezing of a moment in time, we can recognise every little detail of the human face caught in that instance. The expression, the marks, the eyes, a smile or sorrow, it is a raw still of someone or something and photographs become an integral part of us. A keystone in popular culture, we have chosen ten of the most iconic images of true gentlemen in all their glory…
