Jean Merlier

The lighting in this photo of Jean Merlier is superb.

 

Artistic

I find this one to be artistic.

 

Cheeky Grin

Our last model has a cheeky grin and no identifying information.

 

Bob and Bob

These two are Bob John and Bob Rome, and Spartan did at least five more

photos during this session, most with the same dramatic lighting.

 

George Everett

Dave Martin really used his lighting skills well in this picture of George Everett.

 

Exceptional lighting

The lighting in this one works in all the right places.

What effect?

I don't know if this is a partial solarization technique or just some

 really great lighting, but it produced a fantastic image.

 

Darryl Robinson II

Roy Blakey used exceptional lighting and pose selection

for this photo of Darryl Robinson.

 

Nice lighting

I find the lighting here to be quite good.

 

Bruce of LA

This photo of Frank Nisi almost made it into my last Bruce of LA series.

Better late than never, I always say.

 

Douglas of Detroit

Although we certainly would wish for a less grainy image,

the way the natural light plays on this gentleman is exceptional.

 

Untitled

 I couldn't find a title anywhere for this exceptional Dianora Niccolini photo.

Larry Webb

Closing out the Pat Milo Artistry set with Larry Webb and some trademark lighting.

 

Martin Adams by Bruce

This Bruce of LA photo of Martin Adams is exquisite.

 

Lighting

Someone either got really lucky or knew how to set up 

this shot to take advantage of some great lighting.

 

Troy Saxon Day

Today is Troy Saxon Day, and we start the show with a dramatically lighted photo of Jimmy South.  Mr. Saxon, whose real name was Stuart "Pinky" Rosenberg, started as a model on a spring break trip to California from the Midwest and then went on to be a photographer himself.

 

Female Photographers

Women artists have long had an appreciation for the male nude.  Today we will look at some photos by female artists made between 1922 and 1986.  If any of you have more photos by these talented women, please contact me as I would love to do some individual series featuring their work.  We start with a very well lighted and posed work by Dianora Niccolini.

 

Different version

The last image in today's George Platt Lynes series is from the same photo shoot as a similar

 picture I posted five years ago.  This one has the model tilted more to the side.
