Mick Sloane by John S. Barrington

John S. Barrington (sometimes John Paignton, 1920-1991) has a bad reputation with regard to his studio practices, and indeed many of his prints look like they went through a war. This one, though, is beautifully shot and produced — a pleasure to behold in person.

  1. John Barrington était un coquin en France, recrutant des hommes pour les photographier et avoir relations sexuelles lors de ses voyages sur la Côte d'Azur. Parfois il emmenait sa femme et ses enfants !
    Barrington a été arrête une fois pour avoir photographie le bodybuilder allemand Helmut Riedmeier nue avec phallus engorgé sur un parking de plage.

  3. Hey, Photoplay, I have a copy of this image which is less cropped, showing studio lighting. Do you have this uncropped version? If not, I'd be happy to send it to you (of course I'd need some email address).
