We'll look at some dramatically lighted men holding balls today. I don't know any of the photographers and only one of the models has a name, and I'm not sure of it.
The photographic styles remind me of Bruce and Milo, and any help would be appreciated as always.
Edited to add: JamesIV informs us in the comments that this is Tommy Lee by Bruce of LA, but the_cham_cham quotes a good source as it being Frank Nisi. At least we all agree that it's by Bruce.

That's Tommy Lee by Bruce of LA.
ReplyDeleteThanks, James. It does have Bruce's style in spades.
DeleteMuch as I would normally not wish to argue with James IV, I believe this is Frank Nisi, not Tommy Lee. Tommy is uncircumcised and this model is circumcised. Frank has a smattering of chest hair and Tommy always appears smooth in the 16 or so photos I have of him.
ReplyDeleteI just nipped over to check my usual reliable source of model info: malemodelsvintagebeefcake .blogspot .com (spaces added to mask URL) and Mike has named the model Frank Nisi and photgraphed by Bruce of LA (see blog entry dated 10 April 2012)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Mike's blog is pretty well documented.
DeleteDefinitely Frank Nisi.
ReplyDeleteGenialeBeleuchtung einer feinen Form eines Mann von Bellas. Der Ball ist so symbolisch fue eine Opfergarbe an die Gotter. Herr Nisi, ein Kouros seiner Zeit.

Bruce Bellas and Pat Milo were both masters of this type of staging and lighting. They apparently were friendly toward each other, and there are photos of them having fun together, sometimes with models.
