Unknown Duo


My source either didn't know or didn't bother to list the names of these models.
They both look familiar, but I can't place them.

  1. Did Mr. Whitman recruit local males for these shoots? If so how and where did he find them? I like these shots where the men have physical contact, even when it's just arm clasping.

    1. Mr. Whitman had such a good reputation that sometimes the models found him. While a sizeable majority of them came from the Denver gyms, competitive bodybuilders from all over the West came to Denver for Don Whitman to photograph them. Larry Scott, famously photographed (and possibly lusted after) by Pat Milo in LA, was an one of quite a few out of towners who wanted Mr. Whitman to add to their promotional portfolios.

  2. I always notice the very different Colorado skies to those in England. The posing and scenery are stunningly choreographed in this image.

  3. Don Whitman ran and organized a Mr Colorado contest in Denver from 1952
    to the early 70s.. Some of the contestants became his models along with locals, as well as some physique models from other states.
    Mr Whitman was very respectful to all his models, thus making him a popular physique photographer with them.

    1. All true. He had a solid reputation in just about every way.
