‘Ain’t Nothin’ Like The Real Thing’ when Bruce Weber melds with Bunny Yeager on film

"If you don’t want to be nude, wear a suit" is what Bruce Weber originally wanted to call his short film.

Sometimes I feel as if I need to explain my references. I am sure there are souls who are not familiar with Bruce Weber’s brillaint work.

Presently, he is the the most commercially known for his Abercrombie & Fitch photographs. Back in the day, it was for his Calvin Klein Underwear ads.

If you were a male model in the 80’s and had a portrait by Bruce Weber in your portfolio, you instantly skyrocketed to having a certain covetable cache that made you the envy of all the other boys on the set. A modern, uneffected sensuality remains in his photographs which is impossible to duplicate, although many photographers have tried.

A couple of decades earlier, Bunny Yeager was first a model and then known for her glamour photographs. Her most iconic model is Bettie Page. Both photographers share a certain naturalness in their work. Specifically their nudes.
