Phil Lambert and Keith Lewin




I do not know who took these outstanding images of Phil Lambert and Keith Lewin, but suspect it was the Western Photography Guild.

  1. The look of these photos tells me they are by Densfield. It is a "holga" style of photo - told by the dark corner fade. They were taken with a particular kind of camera that does this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holga

  2. The format looks like it could be Stereo Realist. The Realist or American stereoscopic (3D) format shoots pairs of images that are 5 sprockets wide. A "notch" was usually exposed at the bottom edge of each right image. This notch would not be visible on a mounted transparency. There were 3D beefcake images shot by Bruce, in the early 1950s.

  3. These are definitely Western Phtography Guild photos. As far as I koow, these two models posed only for Western. I also recognize the scenery as being a tpical Western background. These two models were really fantastic together. Their bodies blended so beutfiully with the poses. They really were among the top stars of Western.

  4. Hello, Rick! Thanks for stopping by. I really think they're by the Western Photography Guild, too. I was just waiting for some addition clues to help me verify - Recently, I've acquire other color images by Western. The poses, the pouches, the angle of the camera in those photos are almost exactly like the ones in this post. Best regards, Michael
