Physique Models in Nature Day

Today we will look at some physique models photographed in natural areas.

We start with Gene Stanley by Dave Martin.

Spectrum

I've posted color photos of Vic Seipke's photo shoot with Spectrum before,

so I decided to go with black and white this time around.

 

Bill Grant

Our only color photo of the day features Bill Grant, Mr. America of 1972, 

and a fine horse.  The photographer is not known to me.

 

Troy Saxon

Jimmy South posed outdoors for Troy Saxon, aka Stuart "Pinkie" Rosenberg.

 

Bruce of Los Angeles

I do not know the names of these two men who were photographed 

by Bruce of LA on one of his forays into the desert.

 

J. Brian

J. Brian took this photo of Ivan Prescott some thick woods.

 

 

Russ Warner

Clarence Ross posed on a rocky beach for Russ Warner.

From what I've seen, it was a memorable session.

 

Rod Crowther

This unknown Rod Crowther model appeared here in a different pose a couple of years ago.

 

Unknown by Unknown

Closing out our Physique Models in Nature set with an unknown model by an unknown photographer.

 

In the grass

This reclining nude in the grass was originally left over from 

a nature themed series and then left over from a leftover set.

 

Men in Nature

For Saturday, I've put together a short series of men in natural settings.

We start with a model I would like to see more of.

 

Crupi

Initially, I thought this was a von Gloeden photo, but a Google Images search indicated that it was taken in 1899 by Giovanni Crupi, a friend of v.G.  So now I need to research Mr. Crupi.

 

 

Fist shaking

I don't know what this guy is shaking his fist at,

but it doesn't fit in with the rest of his image.

 

Clifford Baker

I found this photo lurking in a nature related file labeled as by Clifford Baker.  Of course, I wanted to find more of his work and quickly learned that this 1960's photo was cropped from a larger picture that showed a huge expanse of that rock.  I may post the original version in a future Baker series.

 

German?

Mr. Scumbeast sent this to me labeled only "mountain goat,"

but I suspect that it might be by German photographer Gerhard Riebicke.

 

Nature Boys

Today's theme is men communing with nature, and we start with a guy

who probably fancied himself to be a spirit guide or some such.

 

Loving your tree

While he's not hugging that tree, strictly speaking, he does seem to be in love with it.

 

Lynes

Ralph McWilliams posed for George Platt Lynes in a creek in 1952.

 

Searching?

This fellow looks as though he might be looking for something.
