Richard Reagan was one of the men photographed by the Athletic Model Guild during the golden age of physique photography.
Reagan appeared in Physique Pictorial in August 1961, and he was remembered by fellow model Rick Alexander as one of the standout AMG era models, particularly for his rugged build and masculine features.
Beyond the photos, surprisingly little seems to have survived about Reagan himself. Like so many of Mizer’s models, his image became far better documented than his life. Today, photographs like this offer a glimpse into the men who helped define the visual culture of the early 1960s.

Paintings by Nebojša Zdravković
Born in Belgrade in 1959, Nebojša Zdravković is a Serbian artist known for his precise drawing and dynamic color palette.
He graduated with a Masters Degree in the Arts and was granted a scholarship by the Spanish government for his post-graduate studies in Madrid.
Zdravković’s images of male eroticism are executed using a highly expressive color range in a classic impressionistic style. He paints primarily from life, using models for reference, with a particular focus on the effect of light upon his subjects and the posed surroundings.

In 1989, Bruce Weber photographed model John Nies at Bear Pond in New York’s Adirondacks, capturing the kind of relaxed, athletic masculinity that became so closely associated with Weber’s work.
Nies was more than just a pretty face. He was a model and athlete, and later played professional football, while his younger brother Eric would go on to become one of MTV’s most recognizable faces on The Real World: New York. Both brothers appeared in Weber’s 1990 photography book Bear Pond, a collection that mixed photographs with poetry by Reynolds Price.
But this particular image feels more like a stolen moment at the lake than high art imho. Weber was very good at making photographs of beautiful people feel strangely intimate and unguarded. This one is a perfect example.

RIP Richard Harrison, 90. This guy was an original AMG model 70 years ago (and sold his own pics, OnlyFans-style), was in "South Pacific" and then became an internationally famous B-movie stud. Classy, elegant man.

I love the lighting in this one.
George Platt Lynes photographed Carlos McClendon in 1947, during the two years the photographer spent in Los Angeles running Vogue’s West Coast studio. The picture is usually titled Carlos McClendon, back to window. McClendon, then in his early twenties, leans into a frame of louvered shutters, shirtless, looking out.
McClendon was not only a model. Born in Bakersfield in 1923, he studied at UCLA, worked in MGM’s design department, and danced with Marie Bryant. In those years he moved through the same Santa Monica and Hollywood circles as Christopher Isherwood and Denham Fouts.
After posing for Lynes he left for New York and opened Chequer, an early boutique that mixed imported objects and clothing from Mexico, Haiti, and Morocco. Greta Garbo shopped there.
He retired to New Mexico in 1986 and then on to Puerto Vallarta. The photo remains one of Lynes’s quietest and most complete portraits from that California period.

Way, way back, in the summer of 1927, before Hollywood claimed him, F. W. Murnau took a camera to a quiet lake in Brandenburg. The man sitting on the edge of the boat is Hans Jahnke, a Berlin newspaper carrier. He holds a paddle, one knee drawn up, looking off across the water as if the day itself were enough.
Murnau, already the director of Nosferatu and The Last Laugh, was about to leave Germany for Sunrise. These pictures were never meant for the studio. They come from a cache of private stereo negatives later found among leftover film from Tabu. Some frames were shot with a self-timer. A few even included Murnau himself.
Ruth Landshoff, who knew both men, remembered the outing. Jahnke appears in the surviving negatives both in a swim shorts and without. The photographs are unhurried and almost tender in their attention to light on water and the easy lines of the human form at rest.
They surfaced decades later, were restored and published in 2013. One ordinary afternoon that somehow lasted forever.

Herb Ritts (b. 13 August 1952) was an American fashion photographer and director who helped define the visual culture of the 1980s and 1990s. Based out of Los Angeles, Ritts bypassed traditional studio backdrops in favor of the California sunlight, desert, and ocean. His signature aesthetic combined a stark minimalism with clean lines and strong, sculptural forms which bridged the gap between fine art photography and high-fashion advertising campaigns.
Herb’s ascent began by chance in the late 1970s when he took a series of informal portraits of his friend, a then-unknown Richard Gere, at a San Bernardino gas station where they had stopped to fix a flat tire. The spontaneous shots of the sweaty, jean-clad Gere were published in Vogue, Esquire, and Mademoiselle, turning Gere into a sex symbol and Ritts into a much sought after photographer. He went on to capture defining images for the era's biggest superstars, shooting magazine covers for Vanity Fair (nearly 40), Vogue, GQ, and Rolling Stone alongside advertising campaigns for Calvin Klein, Chanel, and Gianni Versace.
Among his most recognizable photographs are -- Fred With Tires (1984), the True Blue album cover for Madonna (1986), Jump (1987), Mark Wahlberg (1992 - for Calvin Klein’s men’s underwear campaign), and the 1993 Vanity Fair cover featuring Cindy Crawford and k.d. lang.
In 1989, Ritts seamlessly moved into directing with a number of highly stylized music videos and over 50 television commercials. His videos for Madonna ("Cherish"), Janet Jackson ("Love Will Never Do (Without You)"), Chris Isaak ("Wicked Game"), and Britney Spears ("Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know") are celebrated for translating his signature high-contrast photographic look to the screen.
Raised in an affluent Brentwood family next door to actor Steve McQueen, Ritts was self-taught, having studied economics and art history at Bard College. At Bard, he realized he was gay and came out to his parents, both designers, who were accepting and supportive of his sexuality. From 1996 until his death in 2002, Herb was in a relationship with entertainment lawyer Erik Hyman. A deeply committed advocate for HIV/AIDS funding, Herb Ritts passed away at age 50 from AIDS-related complications. 🏳️🌈
