This picture of Keith Stephan is one of those often attributed to Lyle Frisby that I am not entirely certain about. There is believable documentation that Mr. Frisby's business partner, Pat Milo, printed and published some of his photos taken before his passing. To add to the confusion,
Pat Milo also photographed some of those same models himself.
Never seen this one of Keith before, beautiful!
ReplyDeletePorträt eines echten Mannes, Herr Stephan war so willig.
ReplyDeleteEr muss ein beliebter Poser der Körperfotografen und ihrer Kundschaft gewesen sein. Zweifellos füllte das Geld aus seinen Nacktfotos die Kassen der Körperfotografen. :)

That is one fine physique.
ReplyDeleteSurprised he won no bodybuilding titles, must not have put out for a judge or contest sponsor.
Did Milo ever give credit to Frisby when he published the photos after Frisby’s death ?

It was known the some of the photos were Lyle Frisby's, but it isn't clear just how open Pat Milo was about it. Considering that the distribution of the pictures was illegal until 1968, the buyers probably weren't topo concerned about it, so perhaps it wasn't a prime concern.
DeleteStephan did win several minor bodybuilding competitions like Mr. L A county and another one I’m not sure if he placed or won.
ReplyDeleteSurprised he didn't go farther with that.
