Color

Mr. Dene doesn't look as hairy in this color photo as he does in most of his others.
I'm really not complaining, though, as it is quite good.

  1. Interesting that the strap matches the background so closely. Why do you think there are no shadows? Is he holding a conductor's wand in his left hand?

    1. I noticed the color match, too, and have no clue as to why. It's possible with studio lighting from multiple directions to reduce or eliminate shadows, but there are some here on the floor and "muddy" ones on the wall mostly obscured by his body. I think the object is a fencing foil.

  2. No he doesn't look as hairy in this photo but it's nice to see Dick Dene in colour and with a body like that there's definitely nothing to complain about.

  3. With colour photography only just becoming affordable at that period, I for one got so used to monochrome that it comes nearly as a shock to note that in the few colour shots from that time, many of the posing straps are in quite daring colours, and not just white. Pink to make the boys wink...

    1. It was a shock, and Bruce used similar shades with a few other models.
