Jim Collette, Tommy Evans, AMG

Here are six photographs by AMG of the hugely popular Jim Collette wrestling the fairer-haired Tommy Evans. I believe I read somewhere that AMG's Bob Mizer loathed photographing these wrestling scenarios, but followed each decade's changing tastes. I believe these photographs were taken in the mid to late 1960's.

Al Wilisch

I know nothing about Al Wilisch other than he appears in beefcake magazines from the 1950's. Bruce of Los Angeles photographed him, too, but I do not know who took these photographs.

Phil Knight

I believe all of these photographs were taken by Bruce of Los Angeles. I especially like the one of Phil using the skillet in the kitchen. It is included in a sprawling pictorial spread featuring Phil in Volume 12 of The Male Figure by Bruce of Los Angeles.

George Everett Photographed by David Martin

UPDATED April 7, 2011: This photograph of George Everett was taken by David Martin, who was one of the first beefcake photographers.

Jim Nelsen

UPDATED May 29, 2011: These two photographs of handsome Jim Nelsen were taken by Pat Milo.

John Weidemann

Here are seven photographs of John Weidemann by Bruce of Los Angeles. These are some of my all-time favorite beach photographs of a male model. I also like the photograph of him wrestling Kim Fox - they look like titans.

Kurt Freeman

Kurt Freeman appears in beefcake magazines from the 1950's. My favorite are the ones he did with Bruce of Los Angeles, most notably as the Indian.

Robert Rex

Robert Rex is another one of my favorite beefcake models. I am not completely certain, but think he began modeling in the late 50's and early 60's. I like the tattoos he sports in his later photographs.

Ed Fury

Here are more great photographs of iconic Ed Fury, whose real name was Ed Holovchik and who appeared in dozens of beefcake magazines.

Steve Wengryn

Steve Wengryn is one of the most famous beefcake models of the 1950's. He was photographed by many - if not, most - of the groundbreaking beefcake photographers.

This photograph is one of my favorites and is attributed to Whiteman, of whom I know nothing.
