Another vef member once kindly shared with me a link to a page about US female photographer R.B. Kane. Sadly, that
page has had its content about her removed and I did not think to save a copy of the text or the picture of her that it showed.
Nor is it accessible through the wayback machine. I think it dated from roughly the early-2000s and if forced to guess I suppose she looked to be perhaps in her mid-40s, though I'm not very good at visually assessing people's ages.
The text on the page was quite disappointing, mainly going on about how she
really knew what turned men on, e.g. showing lots of pink, because she was a woman--i.e. in a quite "laddish" style reminiscent of the garbage write-ups that accompany so many pictorials.
Anyway, so far these are the earliest credits I've been able to find for R.B. Kane:
Club (US), 1979-12
Knave 1980-03
Men Only 1979-10 - Meryl
Men Only 1981-04
Swank 1983-06
Velvet 1983-12
Club International (UK) 1984-05
Adam (US) 1986-12.
There are also later (1990s) credits in magazines for RBK International, RBK Productions, or just RBK (2002), as well as more instances of R.B. Kane. I don't know for sure but perhaps those are all by the same person?
Oddly, Adam (US) credits sets from 1966-10 to 1975-11 to a photographer named RBK. I find it difficult to imagine they can have all been the same person as then she would likely have to have been born in 1948 if not earlier, i.e. aged in her mid-50s by the early-2000s. On the other hand it seems a quite distinctive name or set of initials.
