Kovert of Hollywood


Doing another Kovert of Hollywood series today, starting with this impressive photo of David DeBorges.  The light, the pose, and the oil combing to create something sculptural.

  1. Remarkable,isn't it? He could almost be a classical statue. Could his bush have been manscaped a bit?

    1. Rarely done at the time, but not impossible.

    2. I would agree, his bush appears off center and not just because he is turning sideways. Everything seems to curve left. It’s height does seem in proportion to its width. I wouldn’t let that be an issue (if you know what I mean).

  2. Absolutely stunning photo. Mr. DeBorges is magnificent. I don't think I've come across him before. I'm not a fan of heavy oiling but I agree with you, Jerry, that it works well here. My favourite in an excellent series.

    1. I have four other photos of Mr. D., all of which appear to be from the same Kovert session. I'll get them on here when I can.
