Ronnie Logan, photos by Plato published in Trim Studio Quarterly (1962) and Manorama March, 1964.
Through one of these friends, he met the physique photographer PLATO. PLATO immediately saw that Ronnie had a hand- some, rather unusual face which would photograph well. But he was astounded when Ronnie took off his shirt and showed him his chest. For Ronnie’s face is quite youthful and boyish and the photographer did not expect this young fellow to have such a strong, fully matured body.
It turned out that Ronnie has a natural posing ability and PLATO was quite pleased with the resulting pictures as were the magazine editors who quickly placed shots of him in their next issues. Ronnie now is on his way to being a top physique model.
There also has been a great demand for him to model clothes. He enjoys doing this very much, for he likes going on location and dressing in well- made suits and sport-coats.
Now when he isn’t modeling, he is training two of his brothers, Daniel and Donald, to lift weights (Ronnie comes from a large German-Irish family-he has seven brothers and two sisters!). They’re making great progress and eventually the three of them might make a very unusual modeling team.
Ronnie has also been studying photography and thinks that one
day he might become a physique photographer himself. He now weighs 160 lbs., and is 5’8″ tall. His chest when normal is 42.4″; when expanded it’s 45.4″. His waist is 28″ and his arms are 15¼”.
He is a very busy, happy boy with a lot to look forward to. His story shows that through adversity and misfortune can some- times come great good. If Ronnie had not become ill when he was fifteen, he might not be the strong confident fellow he is today.
