"I rarely use professional artist's models because they have a tendency
to be 'static'. Instead, I usually use showgirls or dancers who are
trained in the arts of deportment and are gracefully feminine." -Roye
Inez and Jannine were photographed by Roye in 1952. Both were very
beautiful and I'm glad they were not shy about posing in front of the
camera. Roye gave a nice range of over and under exposing these models
for different looks. Much of 1950s photography was mired in pin-up. In
the hands of a master, and minus any pin-up overtones, figure
photography was something splendid. These photos are not too artsy
either which can be just as horrid as bad pinup.
