BERT CALLINDER aka JIMMY SMITH on the Far LEFT circa 1965. MAX WOLF in the front CENTER. Thanks to dc94u for the MAX WOLF ID.BertCallender08.jpg

 
Do you know, did they ever shave Jim’s torso? Trying to identify this model.
Give me a day or 2 to find out.? I am not sure that is Jim Jones. I have to look at the AMG Catalogs.TLC 22 Jim Jones_.jpg

Both of these guys are great really into Dusty. Sal has a bunch of jail house tats in his other photos from the front. Guess some could be from the military. Anyway, Dusty has some great photos.

STEVE ANTHONY was indeed a handsome model who posed for Western Photography Guild. However, I doubt these photos were taken in 1958. Although WPG was active during this time, its photography was, like most studios, strictly legal (models wore "posing pouches"). It didn't turn to full nudity until the mid-sixties when the censorship laws were relaxed.

WPG was owned by the wonderful DON WHITMAN, who like his contemporary Bob Mizer at AMG, started up right after the end of World War II. During the mid-fifties, Whitman's studio, equipment, and most of its photos were destroyed by flooding in downtown Denver, and he subsequently relocated further south, just off Broadway or Lincoln. His studio was fairly small, so he shot a lot outdoors in the beautiful Rocky Mountains and in his models' homes. Indeed, there's a nice set of STEVE ANTHONY taken in his apartment. Whitman was very proud of his work and took great pains in the details of composition and lighting. You won't find a bad or sloppy WPG photograph.
