The other photographer named Roy, Roy Blakey

At the same time Roy Dean was making his successful coffee table books, Roy Blakey was also producing some really fine male nudes.  Today we look at ten of Mr. Blakey's photos,

starting with this somewhat pensive looking young man.

 

Darryl Robinson I

My source says this is "Darryl Robinson and Unknown," but I think it's 

Mr. Robinson alone in a very interesting double/multiple exposure or overlay.

 

Tim Scott

I find myself fascinated by this photo of Tim Scott.  We get an unconventional pose, 

an interior horizon line, and some excellent lighting.  Lots to like here.

 

George Payne

Mandate magazine feature Roy Blakey photos on a number of occasions.

This time the model was George Payne.

 

Darryl Robinson II

Roy Blakey used exceptional lighting and pose selection

for this photo of Darryl Robinson.

 

Edmund La Fosse & Sergio Lopez

We get a pair of nice smiles and derrieres 

from Edmund La Fosse and Sergio Lopez.

 

Leap

This guy had to be a dancer.

 

Mystery man

I would love to know who this model is so I could find more pictures of him.

 

Nice lighting

I find the lighting here to be quite good.

 

Happy Guy

Random Beef Day

It's time for another set of those odds and ends, leftovers, and uncategorized photos I call random beef.  We start with a model whose attributes come through despite the garish lighting.

I was tempted to tone down the exposure, but didn't

 

Pair

The man on the left seems to be sizing up the one on the right.

 

Sprawl

 

I think the photographer was going for maximum sprawl here.

Too bad they cropped out part of his left leg.

Colt?

If this guy wasn't a Colt model, he should have been.

 

Trio

Although Google Images search came up blank, the setting here reminds me 

of one used by Rod Crowther.  Anybody know for sure?

 

Mystery

I don't know what this guy is doing, but the picture looks like an outtake from one of Don Whitman's (Western Photography Guild) outdoor sessions.  It probably isn't, though.

 

Attitude

This guy isn't beefy, but I like the attitude.

 

Modern?

This one might be modern, but the prominent bush could indicate otherwise.

 

Rafters

Unconventional

Ending the random beef series with a model in a pose that really manages

 to show off some fine musculature in an unconventional way.

Amateur photo

An amateur photographer sent this in to a magazine,

which might account for the quality issues.

 

Two navels?

Does this man have two navels?

 

Beach campers

This photo came from magazine piece on Australian nudist beach campers.  Only one 

of the men has a beard, but I included both because they are equally impressive.

Does the guy ar right have one of those early 80s headphone portable radios?

 

Fine specimen

There's no money shot here, but we do get a fine looking man with a great beard.

Makes me thing of another Australian I know now residing in the Netherlands.

 

Announcements

I think this fellow is reading announcements at an organized nudist event.

 

Wedding party

Here we have a male member of a wedding party.  He seems to be the best man, and the groom 

is a gorgeous blond.  Unfortunately, there's no way to crop the bride's ginormous boobs out 

of the photos of the handsome groom.  I may toss the happy couple into a future mixed 

gender series, and yes, I know some of you don't care for those at all.

 

Having fun

This guy is having fun in a large above ground pool.

 

Typically bizarre nudist game

Our last Australian bearded nudist is the lead man on a mixed team for some strange footrace.  Nudists all over the world have a long history of organizing such activities, often in conjunction with one of their pageants.  Bizarre nudist games might be a good theme for a series.
