Charles Whitlock
Although we might wish to see more of him,
this picture of Charles Whitlock is still pretty good.
In the UK of the 30’s and 40’s we had nothing like the physique photographers of America like Forbes. We had the artist Keith Vaughn, Cyril Arapoff who photographed gay students of Oxford University and the little known photographer Yvonne. All were artistic photographers, only after the war did we have physique photographers. War though dreadful, reminds men of their mortality and opens their minds, thus a flourish of the homoerotic in art, in photography and the gradual acceptance of homosexuality. 🇬🇧

Barrington, Dobing, Scott, and Hoffman were leading lights of the postwar British nude physique photo upsurge.
