Bob Mizer founded the Athletic Model Guild in 1945 Los Angeles as a modeling agency for male bodybuilders. Mizer, a self-taught photographer, recruited and photographed the models, carefully listing their vital statistics along with their real names and ages. Mizer sold his photos by mail, advertising them in men's magazines.
