Another early photographer was Lou Melan (?-?). He worked alongside photographers like Townsend and the Ritters, capturing models in the studio and outdoors. Two of the brothers who posed for Melan were the body-culturists Frank (1918-1996) and Bill Hillgardner (1915-2001). Some of his best work parallels any of the work from the Ritter Brothers. Melan was also a photographer for New York's Metropolitan Opera in the 1930s and '40s. |

Klassisk bilde med kolonnen som minner om glansen til antikkens Hellas med en mann i all sin masculine prakt.

Lou Melan, an obscure physique photographer who should be better known. One of the early pioneers of the physique genre.
