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.

Posted?

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

 

Roy Dean Nudes

Roy Dean Nudes was a 1977 publication that I only recently discovered.  Although I don't have the entire contents, I do have enough good images for two 10-piece series, starting today.

 

Palm Trunk

One of Roy Dean's favorite spots for location shooting was Hawaii,

and I think this model was here leaning on a palm trunk.

 

In the sand

I assume that this is the same model in both shots made in the sand.

 

Blue

I don't know what Mr. Dean used for the blue background here,

but it makes me think of the blue waters around Hawaii.

 

Up Against the Wall

I think this is a photo of the photo rather than a scan because 

of the way the pages seem curled at the edges.

 

Regular

This model appeared in several Roy Dean publications.

 

Window

I wish I knew this model's name so I could look up more of his work.  Anyone?

 

Color Twofer

We get two nice views in this page.

 

Framed with Ivy

I really like the way the ivy frames the model in this one.
