Strolling down Makuti thatched village, south of Ilha de Moçambique, here's O Fashionista, the King of the Alleys, Knight of Good Taste and Lord of the Senhoras.

You may already know about the Congolese S.A.P.E. (Société des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Elégantes : for the english speaking members, it would be a club of african partyers and "elegant" persons which name is the acronym of C.L.O.T.H.) I believe this dude is an illustrious member of the Mozambican equivalent.

Not really matching, would you say? Who says... And what do you know about Ilha fashion...

---------------------------------------

I have opened a Mozambique gallery in pbase if you want to have a look, currently only Ilha de Moçambique images, later on I will add Ibo.

Salut Luko,
thanks for the tip-off about new trendy fashion.
The tilt here worked well with the wideangle framing.
A smile

Hello l'ami,
pose décalée mais tellement pleine de dynamisme, une grande image, magifique pour ce qu'elle m'apporte, l'image de toi sur le sol en train de prendre cette photo, mdr...

This one sizzles and dances with the samba beats (really their African equivalents, nay, archetype, whatever they might be). Elegant is a word that is apt here. The tilt is awesome.

[I had a quick look at your pbase gallery, but retreated quickly. Such a constellation of superb photos cannot be done justice by a casual look...will return over the weekend to savor--a feast for the eye must await a leisurely pace]

Hello,
Photo colorée, dynamique, drôle, et on imagine facilement une musique bien dansante pour accompagner le pas du gars. C'est ça! Pour moi, c'est une photo musicale!
Au plaisir
Iva

bonjuor luko
il ya du rythme dans cette photo, on le sent tres bien dans sa peau et un peu fier de montrer ses sapes.
il est quand même un peu en décallage avec le decors ebvironnant

Salut Luko
Elle est géniale celle ci. Le tilt et la démarche de cet homme donne un sacré dynamisme. Le cadrage est parfait. Je ne note qu'une petite sur exposition peut etre.
J'aime beaucoup cette ambiance
Amicalement
Bertrand

I like it. The way you controlled the tilted composition is perfect. See that phone post on the top right and the standing man in the bottom right. Using the frame to its limits. I like the colors and the exposition on the man's clothes is superb. Those trousers look like they are made of silk instead of cheap fabrics. Great one.

super ta fashion victim! J'avais pourtant lu que la mode cet hiver pour les hommes serait le Gris. Comme quoi, il ne faut pas croire la presse! ;-)

j'en ai profité pour aller alimenter ta galerie pbase de qq commentaires.. Elle est tout simplement superbe! Beau travail à voir dans son intégralité!

Eric!

Salut Luko,
Woooow ca flashe! On dirait Pepe a St Trop', manque plus qu'une petite chaine en or et c'est bon. Chemise en soie or "Brooklyn" pantalon argente cosmonaute et nike air rouge vintage et lunettes "designer" ca doit faire fureur au macumba!
Tres coole cette photo avec les couleurs bien pop, le petit tilt style "broken-knee" qui va bien avec sa demarche.
Nicolas

He looks as if he's walked straight out of a 1990 videoclip with Vanilla Ice. Great angle here as Mr Cool strolls down the street, as he gets watched from the sidelines as if he is royalty.

I'm cool, I'm really cool man! Hey, here's a dude with a big fancy camera - let's make out like I haven't noticed him.

Great snatch Luko - love the incredulous pose of the guy down the alley. I bet he's more interested in what your doing than the guy in the natty threads.

This wouldn't look out of place in a glossy mens magazine - illustrating what the best dressed guys in Ilha de Moçambique are wearing this season ;-)

Fabulous, Roberto

Joli "hip shot" dans les regles ;o) Colors are fantastic, the sky responsing to the call of the wild yellow shirt, bright red shoes, shades, and that determined look...
Fun shot, lots of depth.
Best,
Francis

Good image of a cool guy. I like his appearence and the way you caught him. The little tilt and the colours work so good. Love it.

Eh eh....mdr....il est superbe celui-ci....un mix entre un clown et un type super fashion....j'adore.
Il est tout droit sorti d'un film comique ton artiste ;)
En plus de ca....car bien joli de le voir dans la rue, mais tu l'as choppé avec classe....la diagonale du toit, l'attitude qui tue, la démarche, le ciel bleu...géant !

On dirait Joey Starr en vacance ! J'aime beaucoup le tilt, cela ajoute du groove à sa démarche et son attitude qui n'en manquait déja pas... Vraiment j'aime beaucoup...

Hi Luko!!
I worship your shots!
This one is also fantastic! ... not only the man, that seems so proud, but also the other man far in the street looking at him. No, suppose that he was looking at the photographer, but I prefer to imagine that he was amazed by the elegant fellow!
TFS, ciao!
Livia

Cool shot here Luko. I like the bright, contrasty colors here, they just add to the fun mood of the shot for me. Your timing was really good; mid stride really works. Nothing to nitpick here, this is a fun photo.

'Arbiter elegantiae' a'la Mozambique, eh ???

Hey!
Since they acquired an electricity (just for the purpose of supplying power for the TV sets), why not to set the next goal for something much more important….
A red sneakers…!!!!!

Cool dude…
Cool photo…

Hi Luko, fantastic this image, with all the colours so saturated and the great position of the man...
the tilt works perfectly and i like a lot also the other man in background...
your series on PBase is fantastic, a lot to learn for me..

ciao!
Valeria

Hello,
celle-ci elle est trop drôle, l'allure du gars est génial.
En te baissant et en tiltant tu as rendu la scène très dynamique.
Bonne combinaisons de couleurs flashy.
J'adore !

very well observed in both ways.
the pov and the note
..but ..
It's in the "way of being" perhaps genetically speaking this peculiar need to call the attention of the people of this region, which I know too, to "call the attention" ... ladies or not..,
