Frank Hollfelder
Frank Hollfelder was a West German bodybuilder. In 1960 he won the Mr. Apollo of Europe competition in the Junior division, above.

In the next few years, he was photographed by French physique photographer Jean Ferrero. Above, a Ferrero photo of Hollfelder.

Another photo by Ferrero.

And another, with perhaps the clearest view of Hollfelder's equipment.

Ferrero also did a set of photos of Hollfelder (right) with French model François Rossi in 1961.

Another photo of Hollfelder (left) and Rossi.
This seaside photo of Hollfelder was not attributed, but I'm guessing it's another one by Jean Ferrero ...
and I'm guessing this is by Ferrero, too. Of the many nude photos of Hollfelder that I found, only a couple of them show his butt.

Hollfelder also posed for photographer John Barrington in 1962, above.

Another photo from the Barrington set. Compared to the previous photo, something is starting to come out of hiding.
Hollfelder even appeared nude on this magazine cover. I presume it's a naturist magazine.
In 1965, Hollfelder struck out on his own as a male physique photographer. He is credited with "discovering" Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1965 in Graz, Austria. One of Hollfelder's photos of the 18-year-old Arnold is above.
Other Hollfelder photos were not bodybuilders, just young male nudes. The photo above is 19-year-old model Gerhard.
And here's teenage model Janne. You could order 8 color slides of teenage models from Hollfelder for $5. Did the 8 slides include views that the ad didn't (or couldn't) show? I don't know, but Hollfelder's photography business apparently wasn't very successful, and he eventually gave it up.

Today we remember Hollfelder not for his photos, but for the photos of him. (Above: another photo by Jean Ferraro.)

I like the last one. He appears the be hardening up.
Seems like a wholesome guy.
That photo of him with a semi-erect penis is indeed appealing!
Many thanks for the Hollfelder series. Beautiful males, not overly built but very "healthy".
But vut in one of the photos, something is not starting to come out of hiding, it is fully out :-)
(But there are many where it is partially out of hiding, which was more common back then for uncircumcised males).
Frank was a HOT man, as well as young Arnold
Any idea about the dark line crossing over the model Gerhard bellybutton?

Hollfelder spielte das volle feld, der Wille zum Erfolg.
Eine beliebte und willige Muse von John Barrington und Rolf Putziger.
