Mac Johnson
I wonder if Troy Saxon was inspired by Don Whitman of Western Photography Guild
when he made this photo of Mac Johnson. Color is pretty rare in Mr. Saxon's body of work.
I have quite a number of colour photographs by Troy Saxon and so I'm surprised you say "rare". He surely did more colour work than many. Donnie Kay and Mac Johnson feature quite a lot in colour which makes me wonder if they were somehow his favourites. He certainly liked to shoot young muscle. And given that this was post-legalization being full frontal, Troy Saxon was working at the time when the homo-erotic was slowly but surely splitting from the bodybuilding world. He manages to capture both.

Wow! Talk about an air of masculinity! Even though it isn't frontal, you know this is a MAN!
ReplyDeleteNo doubt whatsoever.

ReplyDeleteSaxon's work is indeed transitional, and my lack of color photos may just be a quirk of my collecting style.
DeleteWow. This is rather special. Colour excellent and lifelike. Mr Johnson's pose perfectly integrated in the natural background. Superb lean physique.
ReplyDeleteAll true for what is one of Mr. Saxon's more artistic efforts.
DeleteWow ... thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Leroy!
DeleteWow is right! I like the rugged location, and Mac looks great in this photo.
ReplyDeleteThis seems, alas, to be the only photo of Mr. Johnson that I have. Surely there must have been more made?
DeleteThere were. I have three B/W shots of him. Let me know if you would like them.
DeleteYes, please!
