"Kelley of Laguna” was a lesser-known but respected physique photographer working in Laguna Beach, California during the 1950s and early 1960s. Update: Model has been ID'd as Tabby Anderson and photographer as possibly Ralph Kelley
Just might be. Ralph Kelley was in Los Angeles from 1950-1955, he may have moved to the more tolerant art colony town of Laguna Beach to get away from the less than tolerant Los Angeles of that time. As Laguna Beach was a liberal and tolerant bastion in reactionary right wing Orange County. -Rj
Perfect pose!
ReplyDeleteThe stately Tabby Anderson! I wonder if Kelley of Laguna is aka Ralph Kelly???
