Kovert
Freddie Kovert makes the list with David DeBorges,
I'm not a fan of the heavy use of oil but it would take a lot to detract me from the lovely David DeBorges. Nice to see him featured again. He's becoming a favourite of mine.
Stunning. Yes, in theory, way too much oil. Yet, it still works. Personally, I think it does for these reasons. It's in black and white. Unless on a plain ground, highly oiled physiques photographed in colour can look, well, greasy. David is young and has a defined, yet slim body. Further more, this gives him a bit of the appearance of a nude male youth work by Cellini. Beyond polished marble or bronze, almost glass like.
Heavy oil doesn't really detract from this shot, does it?
ReplyDeleteI could do with less, but you're right.
DeleteAh, yes! The usual heavy dose of oil on the model. It was practically a trademark.
ReplyDeleteTrue.

He's really nice, even if he looks like he fell into a vat of grease.
Delete3 balls?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look that way in other pictures.

ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought about the color vs. black and white element, and yes, he does look like polished marble.
