Paul at The Sword discovered this really cool photo set from Ken Probst’s book Pornographic on beauty_Nikole blog.
Several years ago, photographer Ken Probst was hired to photograph pornographic film actors for publicity pictures and video boxes. Once on the sets of California’s most notorious industry, he began to photograph behind the scenes, revealing the absurdities, pathos, and business of the pornographic film industry. These photographs, whether they portray an elaborate sexual situation or actors waiting between takes, are remarkable documents that observe the banality of manufacturing desire.
I LOVE this photo set! It shows behind the scenes footages from gay porn “golden age” as some of you called it. You can see director John Rutherford working with Trent Reed on the set of Falcon Studios‘ Billy’s Tale, Bodybuilder porn star Tom Katt about to get gangbanged in The Abduction 3: The Redemption, Jake Andrew and Chance Caldwell scene in The Abduction 2: The Conflict, some heavy dildo play from Hot House‘s Call to Arms.
All of these are Classic Moments in gay porn! I’m glad to see these rare behind the scenes images.

WHAT BRILLIANT PHOTOS! And they soooo take me back…I used to crush HARD on every single one of these performers!!!! Trent Reed, Tom Katt, Donnie Russo (YUM), Chance Caldwell…
I desperately want to learn camerawork and direction for adult films…
Bob Eubanks says
Yup, the grips look just as excited as they do today. LOL! -So which models are gay for pay?
Jose Arribas says
God if only Falcon made those kinds of movies today.
Jeremy says
How the hell these men behind the camera can work without losing concentration and having a boner????????
Chris says
They are probably straight
Scott says
Billy’s Tale was a good movie. I believe the first photo, the one on the home page, is Todd Gibbs (yum!) getting fucked by Beau Saxon in Hot House’s The Road Home
, also a good one. Donnie Russo, I used to think, was so hot, however, he has a (bad) website with the occasional picture, and he has not aged well.
Luca says
Re: Scott, you’re right, that is Todd Gibbs. He was very hot. What ever happened to him? Seems as though the hottest guys get in and get out; do a few pornos and then quitely retire. Other guys seem to go on forever regardless of how they look; maybe they never find another way of making a buck but it does seem that in porno the fewer you do the better. Leaving ’em wanting more. Chance Caldwell was very hot, too. Before the internet took over the pornos were better and the guys were hotter. Classic Falcon was great. Thanks for this, QMN.

Steven Scarborough had a huge boner – he has a ten inch Fat cock- once when he yelled cut and came up to myself and Mark Baxter to give us further directions cause he thought what we were doing was hot. I wanted him to fuck me nice and slow that evening, but no one would play with me. I didn’t even get to kiss on camera. I did the movies because of all the fun sex play I heard about after the shooting was done. None of that happened for me except for one hookup after the days shooting ‘Descent’.

Chance Caldwell is a great porn actor!!
Kevin says
The first image was always a fave. The other great one they dont show is of a gay for pay porn star fluffing himslef on a straight mag
Mark in Cali says
The book is great, and you can find a copy on EBAY cheap. ALSO, the original 8×12 inch signed silver gelatin images are being sold privately by the Estate of Ken Probst which causes a major swelling. I have the Tom Katt image. If you search ‘Tattooed Twins’ you see his other hot work.

Chance Caldwell was astonishing in his body of work…..masculine Germanic handsomeness who could top AND bottom. I saw on a recent porn site that under another name, Chance filmed a straight scene WITH HIS SON!!!! they both bang a woman outside on an old sofa.
John Rutherford says
I remember this well… I was always embarrassed of the one from Billy’s Tale whilst I am on my hands and knees showing Trent Reed how to arch his back (second from the top). Oh, the memories! 😉
