Abandoning the beefcake years.
David of California.Ferdinando Antonio Lanza was one of the first expert and appreciated muscle magazine photographers in the 50s, after a good career as a professional wrestler; he was known as Mario Lanza, the Singing Wrestler. Born in Montreal in 1920, Lanza worked with brothers Ben and Joe Weider (important publishers of physique magazines) to create the International Federation of Bodybuilders in the late 1940s. He has photographed the most famous bodybuilders and wrestlers of his era; in 1950 won the Mr. Sante Quebec bodybuilding title, in 1964 opened a wrestling school where he taught until he retired in the late 70s.Dave Martin (see 10.22.11) was a master of shadows and ight; posed Bay Area athletes and common men as classical characters. Fire chiefs, college jocks, delivery men, somehow Dave Martin got them all to take their clothes of for his camera. (Thanks to BigKugels).http://bigkugels.com/
