Front view


The bright lighting in this front view of John Grimek
makes me thing the shot was made outdoors,
but it most likely wasn't.

  2. In 1947 Grimek self published a photo book Masculine Perfection featuring many indoor studio photos of himself by Lon and outdoor photos taken by Grimek himself with a self timer. The photos date from 1928-1945 and each is titled. The whole volume can be seen on video at Buonaideabooks….:)

    2. The book was in part financed by Bob Hoffman of York Barbell that Grimek promoted and at times worked for.

  3. Lon used an Eastman Kodak camera with a Zeiss Tessar lens and used three lamps for lighting his physique models.
    No doubt Grimek sought the best photographer and found that in Lon.
