Ray Robirds








UPDATED June 22, 2013: Ray Robirds was a popular "natural" or nude model in Los Angeles in the 1960's, when photographing nude adults was decriminalized in the United States.

I do not know who photographed him reclining on his elbow.

Bruce of Los Angeles took the others.

In addition to his obvious charms, I am fascinated by the scars on his lower groin and wonder if there exist any photographs of him smiling with his lips parted.

  1. The two outdoors photos are by AMG. Bob Mizer dragged trees and fake rocks up to his roof to take shots like these. These are definitely his work.

  2. Hello, SEA!

    I agree 100% and have moved those outdoor images to a new post dated June 22, 2013.

    Best regards,
