There's a dichotomy in my Jack Conant collection. All the full nudes appear to be by Kovert of Hollywood, and all the semi-nudes and posing strap shots are AMG. The natural muscles really stand out in this particular pose, and it is one of my favorites, nude or otherwise.
I agree, Jerry. I think this is my favourite too. Mr. Conant looks so handsome here and what a body. Superb photo.
ReplyDeleteProbably one of the best in my entire collection.
DeleteI'm assuming that your collection is pretty extensive, Jerry, so that's high praise indeed. However, I think you're right; this photo is stunning ... as is Mr. Conant. Don't think I'll ever get tired of looking at this.

The last time I checked I had about 42,000 vintage male nudes, less than 10% of which are posing strap. Somehow, I had never taken a really good look at this one until I put this series together.
DeleteGreat body! Well displayed despite the pouch. And I notice his hair looks lighter here. Some tan line contrast, too.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Mizer kept the picture from being too "locked in" symmetrical by having Jack turn his head to the side rather than look straight into the camera. It is simply outstanding in every way.
DeleteI think of the word "coiled" when I look at this photograph. Plus, that pose makes the pouch look like its filled with power.
ReplyDeleteGreat observation on both points!
