Over six months ago, the always generous Bryan B. sent me a huge group of good photos. The most intriguing thing about this collection is the number of obscure, but very good photographers. I did two series in June and July featuring some of those whose names started with the letters A and B. It's been a scandalously long time without a follow-up, but today will be the start of an occasional group of sets from the collection. The alphabetical thing won't carry on as I'm skipping ahead to Mike Scott, a photographer who is described by the Bob Mizer Archive as "a little known photographer who worked alongside Bob Mizer." If anyone has more info, please chime in and comment. We start with a pair of men who are unknown, as are all of the models shown today.
Many thanks to Bryan B. for his generosity.
I can't help but notice how much the model on the left resembles AMG model Shan Daymore -- right down to the tight curly hair.
ReplyDeleteIt might be him. If Mike Scott indeed "worked alongside" Bob Mizer, using models in common would be easy.
DeleteThe guy behind could be Jim Lassiter
ReplyDeleteI think you're right. They both worked at AMG in the early 60s. Jim had some body hair patterns that can (barely) be seen in the bright sunshine, but match the photos I have of Jim. BTW, this is the first time (and probably my only time) I have seen either guy fully naked.
DeleteInteresting. Leaves me wondering if Mike Scott was more persuasive when it came to nudity, willing to take risks, or came along later when things were looser.
DeleteI'm no expert but I agree that the guy on the right does look like Jim Lassiter. Jim is another of my favourites. This is the second frontal nude photo of him that I've seen. James - you posted a (solo) nude frontal of Jim on your blog on October 3rd 2019. It's a great photo of a really good model and nice to be able to see all the goods on display.

I also thought Jim Lassiter but couldn't remember his name -
ReplyDeleteI also think its Shan Daymore - I only have one pic of him but the build and har match
ReplyDeleteI agree with both suggested IDs. Shan Daymor (left) and Jim Lassiter (aka Larry Lamb) on the right.
ReplyDeleteThanks for confirming, Brian.
