Dennis Bell

Dennis Bell is an award-winning photographer and filmmaker. In 2003, Bell acquired the estate of American photographer Bob Mizer (1922-1992) who famously pioneered the world of physique photography and beefcake magazines. In 2010, Bell founded the Bob Mizer Foundation with a mission to preserve the heritage of Bob Mizer and other experimental photographers whose careers he helped launch. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) Educational Archive, the Bob Mizer Foundation is supported by grants, donations and the contributions made by its devoted members. The Foundation's interns and volunteers are integral to helping us achieve our stated goal of promoting and preserving progressive and controversial photography. The Foundation has shown Mizer's films and photos in museums, galleries and film festivals internationally.
