Title: If only bodybuilders could pose.
Post by: Vince B on September 11, 2013, 06:10:29 PM
Sergio Oliva seldom posed his huge arms right. He had them too low in most poses and that took away from his symmetry. What a pity he didn't learn to pose better.
The same can be said for many of the top guys.

I edited a photo of Sergio taken in 1971 by Inge Cook, the wife of Arthur Jones. Very difficult to get things perfect but this gives an idea of a possible improvement.  


The bottom photo shows a pose arranged by photographer Wayne Gallasch. This one has his arm right. The elbow should be closer to shoulder height.

basile, your shops of oily musclemen are tiresome.  they just weren't good enough for you?  you just feel compelled to modify their pics so the world can see them through the lens of the big basile?  please post your tree climbing and root beer photos for us again, it's been awhile

It wouldn't have made any difference , he looks exactly the same in both pics.

Here is an "improved" Casey Viator. I don't think these guys would have been upset with the possibilities.

I am merely doing mental experiments via Photoshop.

Simply stop bullshitting, you posted Steve Reeves image on IA on that location too
with exactly the same shadow + your own (edited) image (identical shadow again).

Listen you jerk, this is not Ironage. This is the last post I will reply to you.

The shadow is difficult to do. If you knew anything about photography and editing you wouldn't make such stupid comments.

Wow, like day and night.

The point was in another thread. Casey's shoulders were not very wide so I reduced the size of his head to see if that made his physique look more impressive.

Many guys with big heads didn't win the top titles. Ray Mentzer and Casey Viator are two who might have won more. Sergio's head is small so that makes his muscles look even bigger.

Sergio vs Arnold posing. Arnold learned to raise his elbows to give better lines.

Sergios way of hitting the double bicep suited him, having the elbows up higher looks less alpha for him. Its almost like saying look I can stop a little short of bringing my arms up fully because they are so fucking massive.

It takes about a day to do one of these. I wrote to Frank about giving him the original sized photo but he returned my email saying he doesn't reply to strangers. He was at my place with Robert Nailon so he is full of crap.

He also sells things on his site so what can I say?

What do you mean bullshitting? Frank Zane COULD pose, and the shadow is not that easy to do.

Well yeah, he is using the same shadow, saves alot of time.

What's the problem?

It's not lazy, it's being efficient (if the shadow fits)

If the shadow was less time-consuming, i'm sure he'd use a different shadow for each one.

What is the instrument you use when editing with photoshop? Not mice?  No matter what you have, what you need is one of these:http://www.wacom.com/gb/en/creative/cintiq-24-hd-touch (http://www.wacom.com/gb/en/creative/cintiq-24-hd-touch) Brilliant not just for drawing, but photo editing as well.
