Bob Mizer's Athletic Model Guild
Photographer Bob Mizer got his start photographing Hollywood's less-hopefuls in his garage as early as the mid-1940s . For a few bucks their photos were listed in the catalog of the Athletic Model Guild, the purpose of which was to furnish models for artists and photographers. However, as Mizer's photographs became as popular as the models, he developed a trademark style that included projected backgrounds and lavish props.
Condition
The 4-by-5-inch vintage photograph is beautifully printed on glossy stock. Quality and clarity are very good. Condition is good with a light bend to the lower-right corner. There is a light ding at the top of the print. There are small, silvering specks which are only noticeable when viewed at an angle.
