Roy Dean Interiors

Roy Dean is known as a master when it comes to photographing men in natural landscapes.  

He was also quite good indoors, and today we will look at ten examples,

 

Magazine?

Mr. Dean did a lot of work for magazines such as Honcho, Mandate, and Blueboy.

I suspect this is an example, but I don't know which publications it is from.

 

Looks like

This wiry guy looks like one of my neighbors who moved here 

from California so he could surf in relatively warm water.

 

Lighting

This one features some pretty nifty lighting.

Dirk or Reb

This model was sometimes listed as Dirk and sometimes as Reb.

 

Mandate

 

According to my source this photo appeared in Mandate magazine in September 

of 1981 attributed to Roy Dean.  I have also seen it credited to Colt, however.

The latter was on what I frankly consider a dodgy website, fwiw.

Tile floor

The geometry of this one is amazing.

If I haven't posted this closing photo before, I should have.

 

Wyngate & Bevins

Sometime around 1966, a US court ruled that nudist magazines showing full male frontals 

were not obscene unless sexually explicit.  Typical for us Americans, someone was ready 

to make a buck.  One such was an outfit called Wyngate & Bevins which began publishing 

"nudist" magazines that were really nothing more than gay beefcake with lots of frontal nudity.  

Until full liberalization two or three years later, they had a near monopoly 

on legal male frontal nudity.  So today is Wyngate & Bevins day.

Solo

W&B sprinkled some solo shots in their publications, as in this archery shot.

 

Frolic

Carefree scenes of nude males frolicking together in the country

were standard fare in Wyngate and Bevins magazine.

 

Trio

Here we see a trio in an area that could have been used to shoot cowboy movies.

 

Bob Mizer

Not only was there overlap between the AMG model pool and W&B's stable, but Bob Mizer is widely believed to have done a considerable amount of the new outfit's photography.  This solo shot

of the handsome Ted Hudson is said to have been an example.

 

Color

By the standards of the day, Wyngate & Bevins lavishly used color,

as in ths shot of four slabs of prime beef.

 

Trio II

This trio is Bert Callinder, Max Wolf, and Ram Rod.

 

Solo III

 

Sports

Ending the set with a photo from what I think was a sports themed photo shoot.

 

Labor Day - Physique Models Pretending to Work

It's Labor Day and a classic physique day, so we're doing physique models pretending to work.

We start with a hairy guy in boots and helmet with a sledge hammer on the AMG roof.

 

Familiar

This guy with a paint brush and a carton of homo milk looks familiar, but I can't place him.

 

MMTP Worker

Miss Magnolia Thunderpussy always required her gardeners to work this way.

Enrique Nieves

I think this photo of Enrique Nieves with a sledge hammer

may be by AMG, but I have no documentation.

 

Auto Mechanic

This guy reminds me of a fellow who used to constantly work on his car in the parking lot of an apartment house I lived in while at college.  Unfortunately, he kept his shorts on while working,

but he did look good in a wet speedo around the swimming pool.

 

AMG Roof Again

This time it's a duo in color on the AMG roof.  They may

be using some of the same props as the other one.

 

Apron

This guy is wearing one of those carpenters' utility aprons.

Fortunately, he has his backside to us.

 

Rick Hansen

Bruce of LA took this photo of Rick Hansen with a pick axe.

Apparently that got Rick a bit excited.

 

One Last AMG

Our final image is an AMG photo in what appears to be 

a magazine other than Physique Pictorial.
