1917-2004 Legendary physique photographer Russ Warner passed away October 21, 2004, in his home in Escondido, California, at the age of 87. He was buried at Fort Rosecrans, a military cemetery in San Diego, with full honors.
Warner?s innovative and beautiful bodybuilding photography earned him universal acknowledgement as the number-one physique photographer in the world. He was a competitive bodybuilder in the late ?40s, and his quick eye saw that the photographs of the top stars of the era were lacking in excitement. He soon moved to the other side of the camera.
Instead of merely taking photos, Warner created fantasies. His photos of Steve Reeves posed on a mountaintop with a sword, Clancy Ross on a sailboat flexing against the rigging and Vince Gironda at Vasquez Rocks (to name just a few) sparked an interest in physique photography outside the realm of sports. He was the first to use Hawaii as a location for physique photography.
When Russ posed bodybuilder Dick Dubois with the lovely Betty Weider, he created a trend of posing male bodybuilders with beautiful women that?s still popular today.
In his studio work, though, he wanted to capture a starker look. His ?rim lighting? technique, which involves placing the subject against a black background then positioning five floodlights to highlight the body, produces breathtaking results.
Every modern-day physique photographer owes Russ Warner a debt of gratitude for his innovative lighting techniques, camera angles and the top-quality physique photography that was his trademark.
A list of Warner?s subjects reads like a Who?s Who of bodybuilding: Steve Reeves, Clancy Ross, Mike Mentzer, Zabo Koszewski, Reg Park, Dave Draper, Chris Dickerson, Vince Gironda, Leo Robert, Robby Robinson, Freddie Ortiz, Armand Tanny, Jack LaLanne, Arnold Schwarzenegger?the list goes on and on.
Between 1949?when his first photograph (of Steve Reeves) was published?and 1975 Warner?s work appeared on more than 150 magazine covers. He took more than 25,000 photos, and his total published photographs numbered 5,000.
Warner received IRON MAN magazine?s prestigious Art Zeller Award for Artistic Achievement in 2000, and he was one of the elite photographers who founded Graphic Muscle in 2001, along with Jimmy Caruso, Gene Mozée and Joe Valdez.
