Rod Crowther, a Washington, D.C. area based photographer is one of those whose work has
a high proportion of unknown models. Today, we will look at ten of those I found on my own.
A future series will present some sent by Bryan B and Tim. We start with a shot taken
on a terrace that Mr. Crowther put to good use on several occasions.
George Rodney Richard Crowther III (1927-2014), his father was an editor of the Baltimore Sun and one of FDR’s press secretaries.
ReplyDeleteContinental Photo and Fizeek and Trim magazines featured his photos, he served time for sending frontal nudes through the mail.
In the mid 1960’s he closed shop as physique photography got displaced by more pornographic images. His house in a leafy suburb in Chevy Chase, Maryland still stands.

A lot of very talented "Golden Age" physique photographers quit when liberalization occurred. The coarsening and crassness of the wide open new era was too much. I have to say that I think much of what was produced between the court rulings and the rediscovery of fine art male nude photography in the mid-70s was rubbish.
