About the Item

Original vintage early 1960s set of 8 gelatin silver photographs by Physique Photographer Pat Milo of model John Haley. Haley was a very popular physique model of the late 1950 and 1960s. All photographs are stamped "MILO 601 S. Vermont Ave. Los Angeles 5, Calif." on verso. Photographs are original early 1960s prints on heavy paper with a medium gloss premium finish in very good condition, see accompanying images. Pat Milo (James Patrick) was born in 1911 into a large, Irish Catholic family. He was thrown out of the house when his father discovered that he was photographing of other young men. In the early 1950s Milo met Lyle Frisby when working as a short order cook. Together, they opened a photography studio which soon failed. Following the advise of photographer Bruce Bellas (Bruce of Los Angeles) Milo and Frisby moved to Los Angeles in 1953 and opened a studio on Naud Street. In addition to commercial photography they photographed athletic male models for the physique magazines. An early advertisement is found in the December 1953 issue of Physique Pictorial. Frisby was arrested and incarcerated for obscenity in 1956. He experienced a rapid decline in his health due to brutality during the year-long incarceration thus, he died shortly after his release. During Frisby’s incarceration, Milo began taking photography classes at the University of California where he met Hollywood photographer George Hurrell. Milo was greatly influenced by Hurrell’s technical and artistic expertise. Milo opened a studio on Vermont Street in Los Angeles and began photographing male models under the Milo label. His photographs first appeared in physique magazines in 1959. Milo shot dozens of models over the next 10 years. He is perhaps best-known for his photographs of competitive bodybuilder Larry Scott. Photographs measure 4" x 5" inches and are printed without a boarder. All 8 photographs were together in a storage box previously owned by the late Broadway and Hollywood costume designer Noel Taylor.
