George P. Erengis Day, Part 2 - Not so nude


I was able to find some nice non-nude George Erengis photos, 
but I think most of them are of the same model, this guy.

 


This model has an eager to please look.

 


A vintage resale site had a contact sheet of George Erengis' beefcake photo for sale, 
but I have unfortunately not been able to find any of the finished photos.  This is a detail.

 


 This is the second of two photos of the same model 
from the same session in today's Erengis series. 


The vintage photo on-line reseller described this Erengis photo as having a "bulging pouch."
Well, maybe, but by our standards, it's only average.

 

George P. Erengis Day, Part 1 - Male Nudes


George Paul Erengis (1930-2010) had what appears to be a brief stint as a beefcake photographer in the late 1960's and early 70's.  Google says he is better known as a writer and publicist for the Hollywood movie and TV studios.  He wrote an article on the history of the studio system that is actually quoted in academic publications on the subject.  I found him credited as a writer for multiple seasons of that all-time TV classic, Divorce Court.  Anyway, I'd love to see more of his beefcake work and will profusely thank and credit anyone who sends me some.  I have just barely enough for a double feature.  We start with a full on nude of a guy who seems to have an interesting attitude.  He'd certainly get my interest.

 


 Since frontal nudes by Erengis have proven very hard to find, I am posting more than the usual number of derriere shots in this series.  I'm sure a certain Belgian named Albert won't mind at all.


As many of you know by now, I really like dramatic or unusual lighting.
So it should come as no surprise that this is my favorite Erengis photo.

 


 Apparently Erengis' work is well enough known that signed photos fetch a premium price.
This one was for sale on a vintage resale website.  Oddly, it was signed on the back.


The nudity is barely there in this Erengis photo, but it works.
