I'm not completely sure that out last Bruce for Sale model is by Bruce. A search brought up the name Frank Affrunti, and this looks like him. The problem? All the other photos of Mr. Affrunti that I've been able to find are by Lon of New York. This does, however, look like Bruce Bellas' work, and several models were known to have moved from New York to California in the 1950s.
This is my favorite. The male, the pose and the lighting work perfectly. And it does seem to fit into the Bellas style.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite too! Absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteThe Savonarola chair and the patterned carpet point to Lon as the photographer. They are seen in other photos by Lon….:)
ReplyDeleteThanks. That makes sense. Having said that, the image quality looks a bit beyond what we expecty of Lon.
