There are three or four photos in circulation from Lon's photo shoot with Marvin Eder
and Artie Zeller, but this was not previoulsy among them. It confuses me because the sea
grass floor mat looks like a prop Bruce of LA used on a frequent basis. I suppose they
made more than one of those, though. If it is indeed from Lon, it is the only shot
of these two without a posing strap, at least that I've seen.
Lon seems to have been big on oiling up his males, or are these just exceptions?
ReplyDeleteThe peak years of Lon's career were also the peak period when oiling was most common, and it was believed to have increased visual definition of musculature. It came directly from the competition stage to the studio from what I've read.
DeleteThese two are perfect together.
ReplyDeleteWell matched without being carbon copies.
DeleteI would prefer no oil, but aside from that it is a gorgeous shot.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the oil. It was a convention in physique photography in that era, but not everyone used it all the time.
