about JOHN PALATINUS-
John Palatinus was one of the pioneering early physique photographers of the 1950's.

Along with Lon of New York, Bruce of Los Angeles, and Bob Mizer of Athletic Model Guild, he helped creates a whole new genre of male photography.

In 1954 he began photographing young body builders. His work first appeared in "Tomorrows Man" a pocket seized bodybuilding magazine that featured the same type of young male physique imagery.

Beginning in 1958, Palatinus started shooting and selling full-frontal nude photos thru the mail. This proved to be an unfortunate move His "Village" studio was raided by the US Postal Inspectors in cooperation with the New York Police Department. All of his photographs, original negatives, cameras, lights and equipment were confiscated never to be returned. John Palatinus was very effectively put out of business

Palatinus may be one of the only photographers sill alive from the 1950's era of physique photography. he has allot to tell about the bad old days of gay american life.
join us for the once only opportunity to have an informal Q&A with an icon.

Antebellum is proud and honored to present the comeback of John Palatinus: welcome- TOMORROW’S MAN!
