Dave Martin Day
In case you haven't noticed by now, Dave Martin was one of my favorite physique photographers.
So today we'll look at five of his photos, starting with this 1953 shot of gym instructor Dave Ellis.
The light/dark contrast shows his superb body nicely. He's smiling, too! Was he a gym instructor in a school? If so, how did they react to his posing in the raw, full frontal?
I think it was a private gym, possibly for competitive bodybuilders. As such, there would have been little negative reaction. In fact, the customers may have had their pictures made, too.
What a lovely man. I'm guessing a bit more mature than Dave Martin's usual models? Unusual angle and pose that works well.
ReplyDeleteThat angle is indeed unusual and effective, but his smile knocks me over.
DeleteYup, happy naked man...showing us what he's got.

DeleteI really like this guy, with his magic smile. I also noticed that "Dave Martin Day" also seems like "nice bush day." You have a golden eye.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to go wrong with Mr. Martin's work, but thanks for the nice comment!
