Athletic Model Guild announced the recent release of its second iPhone app, “AMG Beefcake!”.
“AMG Beefcake!” displays the best of beefcake photography pioneer - and AMG founder - Bob Mizer’s work in a high quality virtual gallery. Users can download, set as wallpaper, or share over 150 historical images from a time when male nudity was not only frowned upon, but also illegal.
“AMG Beefcake!” is available for only 99¢ in the iTunes app store. The images, selected from a collection that includes nearly 1 million individual photographs, show bodybuilders, military men, and blue-collar workers from the turn of the 20th century, clad in posing straps, briefs, and bathing suits. Dennis Bell, the studio’s president, said the app is a reflection of the iconic style that made AMG an inspiration to gay artists and audiences the world over.
“Bob’s black and white work has become synonymous with a certain period in gay photography,” Bell said. “We wanted to celebrate his photography, but at the same time move it forward by delivering some of his best work on a 21st century platform."
