Some G.P. Lynes contact sheets came onto the market recently, and I cropped this image from one of them. Contact sheets are a "down and dirty" cheap developing process thatr allow the photographer to get a good idea of which images on a roll of film are worth the cost of full processing. I'm really surprised that nothing from this group of photos seems to have been completed. Perhaps they are lurking some where in a private collection.
Unique lighting, n'est-ce pas?

DeleteCross between a ballet pose and a crucifix pose. He must have been a dancer that Platt Lynes recruited from one of the ballet or dance companies in NYC….:)
ReplyDeleteThat would be my best guess as well.
