EspañolBILL DOBBINS (PHOTOGRAPHER)
'Bill Dobbins' is an American photographer who specializes in bodybuilding, physique and fitness photography. In particular Dobbins is well known for his work in photographing female bodybuilders and has published two books of images on the subject, ''The Women'' [1] and ''Modern Amazons''[2].
Dobbins credits his past association with Ben Weider and bodybuilding organizations such as the IFBB and NPC in helping to write the rules for female bodybuilding.[3]
Dobbins is also an author and writer for physique magazines. He has collaborated with Arnold Schwarzenegger on several books, including ''Arnold's Bodybuilding For Men'' [4] and ''The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding''[5].
After working in Europe predominantly in the music industry, Dobbins returned to America to embark on a career as a radio producer, primarily at WNBC and WABC in New York, before eventually moving to California where he became involved with the original Gold's Gym. During this period Dobbins got to know several male bodybuilders such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, and undertook promotional work for the gym. This attracted the attention of Joe Weider, and Dobbins began writing for ''Muscle & Fitness'' and eventually was made the founding editor of ''Flex'' magazine.
Dobbins has created a number of photo and music web sites, accessible from his web site. The Female Physique Webzine/Gallery and the Female Physique Art Gallery feature photos and profiles of female bodybuilders, fitness, and figure competitors and some other women with aesthetically developed athletic muscle. His music site features the songs he has written from the time he performed as a singer/songwriter in the 1960s and 1970s until the present.
Dobbins has been a frequent participant on the Usenet group alt.amazon-women.admirers, where his views and arguments on a number of topics have sometimes made him a controversial figure.
