Wayne Roberts

There are certain early AMG models who intrigue me, perhaps because of their seeming rarity — a handful of poses instead of a page or two of thumbnail shots. Wayne Roberts is one, although in his case I bought some unidentified prints and scrambled to find his name. Here he is in Album T, and in three images from the T catalogue. (The precipitating shots can be seen here.)

Bob Mizer tended to publish the finished product of a photo session, at least in the early days, only occasionally showing the preliminaries. (For the purposes of the Athletic Model Guild, this meant getting the models into posing pouches or abbreviated swimwear as soon as possible.)

There is something charming about the way-stations in the photographic process, as here:
