As in Movies, the essence of cool attests, he could ride a motorcycle and mean it……It could be James Dean or Steve McQueen. In Bodybuilding it was the great Steve Reeves.

When you think of lens men and camera work there was one name that stood out more than 20 greats. It was Russ Warner Photography. He knew how to use national light and made many Bodybuilder’s famous. Schwarzenegger, Draper, Reeves just to name three. (See photo of an afternoon Awards events with over twenty legends on hand). Reeves, Tanny, La Lanne, Balik, Eifferman, Coats, and Wilson. They all loved Russ.

See article on the 2000 Joe Weider Model and Figure Quest. It was this article that proved that Women’s Figure events dominated the entire Mr. Olympia Expo and changed the industry for ever.
