AMG Photos I Like

 The sheer volume of Bob Mizer's work at AMG has been a godsend in that he has something 

for almost any of the sometimes obscure themes I use.  A large number of the AMG photos 

I've posted are on here for that very reason.  Today I'm posting eleven pictures that I think 

are among the best out there.  We start with a guy known to me only as model number 84.

 

Bill Cable

An memorable (and ironic, as it turned out) motorcycle themed 

early 1970s photo shoot gave us this AMG picture of Bill Cable.

 

Jack Harris

The word "statuesque" immediately popped into my head 

when I saw this fine photo of Jack Harris.

 

Rick Pagan

This is Rick Pagan, aka, Gordon O'Brien.  This is one of those times when the fine lighting took 

a good (but not stellar) model, a decent pose, and OK composition to a whole different level.

 

Gerard Homer, front and back

Here we see Gerard Home from the front (above) and from the back.  And before anyone asks,

I have searched and searched for full frontals without success.

 

Robert De La Rosa

A handsome Robert De La Rosa posed in color for AMG in 1963.

 

Another Unknown

This unknown model isn't the greatest physical specimen, and the pose seems a bit awkward.

Bob Mizer's technical photography skills,  however, really make him shine.

 

Arm twisting

This photo, said to be from early in Bob Mizer's career,
recently sold in an on-line auction of dozens of AMG works.

 

Bob McCune

Although the bondage kitsch might be a bit hokey,

nothing can take away Bob McCune's stage presence.

 

Skip Johnson

Closing out our latest AMG series with Skip Johnson.

 

Kenn Duncan IV

I've recently come across some great photos by Kenn Duncan, so today I am posting my fourth series by this great photographer.  We begin with a classic pose that really works with this model.

 

Dramatic

Kenn Duncan's Broadway connections to dancers and other performers

caused him to set up some dramatic poses such as this one.

 

Finely built

I wish we knew this Kenn Duncan model's name.

I have several excellent photos of him.

 

Style

Here we have a very simple composition that still manages to have a fine style to it.

 

Rear

This one of my favorite Kenn Duncan derriere shots.

 

Surf

Kenn Duncan seldom worked outdoors, but this blond

emerging from the surf shows he could be good at it

 

Fun

Despite the serious expressions, I thing this one must have been fun to pose for.

 

Harvey Evans

This photo of Harvey Evans was one of Kenn Duncan's first photos to appear in After Dark.

 

Stance

The model's stance here is odd, but somehow appealing.

 

Dancer

Closing the latest Kenn Duncan series with an unknown dancer.

 

19th Century Day

We're visiting the 19th Century today, beginning with this anatomical photo by an unknown photographer.  The same model from a different angle will appear at the end of today's series.

 

Igout I

This is the first of three photos in today's series by Louis Igout.

I posted the frontal view of this same pose last May.

 

Marconi I

This albumen print by Gaudenzio Marconi is in the collection of Galerie Au Bonheur du Jour.

 

Hermann Heid I

I can't tell if this Hermann Heid model is gesturing or holding an imaginary object.

 

Igout II

Louis Igout never seemed to run out of different ways to pose men.

 

Lalaing

My original source listed this one as unattributed, but some poking

 around produced a believable link to the Belgian Jacques Lalaing.

 

Marconi II

I'm sure that Flandrin inspired this Marconi photo,

and it is one of at least two Marconi did on that theme.

 

Hermann Heid II

Hermann Heid made good use of that little table to set up this shot.

 

Igout III

The model in our third Igout photo seems to be giving a worried look over his shoulder.

 

Anatomical II

As promised, here is the match to the first photo in today's set to close things out.
