By the mid-1960s, the epicenter of the physique photography world had shifted from New York
to the West Coast. Walter Kundzicz of Champion Studio was still in New York, though,
and doing mostly color work. Even he eventually split his time between the City and Florida.
The model here is Hank Strothers.
Nice smile. If you look closely, you'll see a cockshadow on his left thigh. All in all, a very nice shot.
ReplyDeleteYes, pleasant in every way.
DeleteI really like this photo for his wonderful smile and his relaxed look and the one below of Jean Palatin
ReplyDeleteI agree. Champion Studio spearheaded the transition from stiffly posed bodybuilders to more casually posed models.
DeleteHank is a personal favorite. Smooth and delicious.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually go for the type, but this is gorgeous.
