Ending the angular series with a picture where the model is almost perpendicular, but everything else is akilter. Did the photographer use a tilted set, or did he tilt the negative onto the print? Oh, and this one gives me a strong George Platt Lynes feeling, but as in all of todays photos, I have no attribution.
That's not Bruce Bellas's "tuffet" turned on its side, is it? Or another of his props?
ReplyDeleteI can see the Platt Lynes feeling - can you see a feeling? - because this is a superb use of shadow both on the model and the wall. Really quite a stunning work.
No, not Bruce's tuffet, and yes, one can see a feeling.
DeleteSomehow the lighting really brings out his musculature. Nice.
ReplyDeleteAnd without being too harsh.
DeleteGreat series, Jerry, and you've probably saved the best until the end. This is a stunning image and it does have a George Platt Lynes feel to it. The model is superb too.

You're welcome, Peter.
DeleteThis is Forrester Millard by AMG
ReplyDeleteThanks! I kept thinking he looked familiar. I have about a ton of pictures of this guy, all clearly labeled except this one.
DeleteMillard looks great in all his pics, one of the best models of his time.
ReplyDeleteEspecially when he was paired with that English stud John Tristram, those two seemed like impassioned lovers. Mizer had some winners in his day, Millard was tops! Wonder how he met Mizer and Tristram?
The face, the physique, the pleasant attitude. Millard had it all. I hope he had a good life; he was deserving. :)
Millard was, hopefully, a contrast to some of Mizer's models, quite a few of whom turned out to be criminals, ne'er-do-wells, and/or addicts. Some even died young. I occasionally delve into their post-modeling lives in my "whatever happened to . . . " series.
