Pompeo Posar
Monday, April 5th, 2004 @ 6:53 am | Playboy
…he quickly emerged as Playboy’s number one photographer of women, a position he retained and enjoyed for more than 30 years. In Playboy’s early days, often the most difficult thing for a photographer was finding a model and convincing her to take her clothes off. No one did that better than Pompeo. A standing Playboy office joke was Pompeo’s ability to quickly convince women that they were beautiful and that they should be photographed sans clothing. He found prospective Playmates on beaches, in nightclubs, walking down the street, in the elevator, at parties, at Playboy Clubs. His approach was always suave, if not subtle. His good looks, thick Italian accent and engaging smile were weapons that very few women were able to resist.
