Very young looking
I have a feeling that this somewhat unusual indoor seminude photo was made
early in Darryl Powers' modeling career, which started at age 19.
Rather unusual and awkward looking pose but it doesn't detract from his impressive physique even at this early stage in his career. He looks kinds cute in this too!
A slightly awkward pose, but as a tall man he is very nicely "folded up". A combination of being able to take direction and already developed posing skill shows through. A stunning start to Darryl's career before the camera. He seems to be in garage. One can only wonder about the conversation.."yeah, we'll take the car out, the floor's quite clean".I have to wonder if there any more from this series.
Certainly there had to be more, but I haven't been able to find any. Sadly, not all of these photographers' works have been preserved, and some that have been saved are not accessible.
Why are you calling it seminude? Seems we all agree, it is an awkward pose, quite disproportionate. It is a long way from the bottom of his rib cage to his groin -- total absence of abs. He is a handsome lad and he will be quite a looker when he grows into that frame.
I use the term semi-nude when a pose is arranged so that neither frontal nudity nor a full derriere view is shown. Yes, the model was nude when it was made, but we don't get to see it all, so I use that term. I'm not the only one, fwiw.
Posed for the times when full frontal could get you in trouble, so the pose should be understandable given the circumstances. Powers has the bod of a jock and great looking for 19, Kundzicz struck gold. -CA jock

True about being awkward, but he had to start somewhere, didn't he? He did progress in both style and looks over time.
