Cute Pair

Does anyone recognize the guy on the left posing with Jim Paris?  AMG, I think. 

See comments below.  Readers had a great discussion on the name of this mystery guy.  Turns out he is Morgan Hammond.  

Henry in SC believes Paris never posed full nude for AMG.  Searching through my photos of this popular model, I think he's right.  So the name of this photographer remains unknown.  

I want to thank everyone who commented.  It's the main reason I do this blog.  It's an opportunity to celebrate the men who did posed 50, 60 or more years ago and put a name to the model and photographer.  Like pioneers, they blazed a trail. 

See comments.  Photo is from Mike Scott.

  1. I have a different pose from this same photo session and the site I got it from said he was Petere Meyer.

  2. Peter Mayer made a short film with Jim Paris in 1964. These photos are not him. They were taken by Mike Scott. I will send you proof. This is another model but not the Peter Mayer who made an AMG film with Jim Paris.

    2. Two of my photos have Morgan Hammond printed as the name. One of them also seems to have the text 'Milo montage' in reverse. Curiouser and curiouser!

  3. Ja, ein süßes paar, wie ein paar feine statuetten oder tisch lampen.
    Meyer lächelt schüchtern, während Paris seinen tollen körper zur schau stellt.

  4. 100 percent sure this is not Pete Mayer. I'll email pics of that duo. I believe Bob Carr (BOBCO) is the only photographer who shot Paris nude. I've confirmed he did at least shoot him nude and several shots published.
    I don't know the model with Paris, but he may not have posed for AMG since I suspect this is another studio.

    1. MORGAN HAMMOND did pose for Pat Milo and Brian E was correct in identifying him. Henry in SC is correct that the photos are by Mike Scott.

  5. I stand corrected. Thanks for the info and I will change my files. This is one of the things I like about this site...the sharing of information.

    1. And thank you Vintage Fan! I love it when readers help with IDs. If they're wrong we'll know soon enough and it will all be good. It's often difficult to ID models from photos that are 50 or 60 years old (or more). I appreciate all contributions.
