Top 3: Photographers

Following up on my recent Close-up post about taste in models, I thought it would be fun to compare notes a little more directly.

In this series of 5 posts I'll be sharing small sample groups of models, photographers, and classic physique themes and asking for your personal Top 3. Feel free to rank the choices I post, mix and match, or throw in your own wild-card picks entirely. I'm only showing a tiny sampling in each category, but trying to represent a decent range of tastes and styles.

**For this one list your favorite Photographers (rather than models) from the set below.

I'll hold off on sharing my own picks until the end of each day.

Theme of the day: Photographers 

1. Al Urban - John Gallagher                       2. Danny Fitzgerald - Richard Bennett

3. George Platt Lynes - George Hansen      4. Walter Kundzicz - Jim Stryker

5. Stanley Stellar - Robert Having Fun              6. Jim French - Bob Birdsong

7. Bob Mizer - Gerald Ogelsby           8. David Hurle - Mark J

9. Don Whitman - Dean Lahr                            10. J. Brian - Chick Howard and George

Please rank your Top 3 in the comments or offer other photographers you'd rank higher.  I also wouldn't mind hearing any reasons for your picks.

From this list with votes submitted, the top 3 photographers are:

1. Lynes

2. French

Thanks for participating.
