Larry Caye - The Latent Image
Larry Caye was a prominent glamour photographer and contributor to many men's magazines. He also marketed his work and sometimes the work of others through his company The Latent Image. He offered slides, prints, and softcore films. He seems to have started the business in 1965 and closed it about 1998. There is very little factual information available so the purpose of this thread is to document this man's work by providing examples of his slides, prints, catalogs, film covers, etc. and constructing an overview of his career by examining the physical evidence.
*Please Note: only examples of his slides and prints from models without their own thread should be posted here. If the model is known they should be posted in her thread. He originally offered black & white glamour type photos of models most of whose names will never be known. His medium naturally evolved to color and some of the models whom he photographed were introduced by him and some were already known. These included both softcore models and hardcore performers. Larry used a lot of unfamiliar names for these models (some of which may be their real names) but did sometimes use their more common stage names as well. So another purpose of this thread will be to sort out these identifications as best we can. This is the Vintage Erotic Talk section so feel free to share your scans and your knowledge about this man and his company. Some of his work runs past the normal date limit for this section but in order to keep everything together post-1995 content is allowed in this thread. Edit 6-23-15: The Larry Caye Loops thread in Classic Movies has been discontinued so his video material can be posted here. I have been working on a model id database and when it is sufficient to warrant posting a link will be provided here. Edit 8-9-15: The database can now be found here: The Latent Image Model ID Project |

The catalogs were normally stapled and measure about 4"x9". The supplements were about the same size but were single sheet fold-outs.
This example is the Spring 1987 Supplement and the 1987 Print Catalog which were combined into a single stapled volume. An explanation can be found at the upper left of the second scan. The printed page numbers reflect the form of the original separate documents and my file names reflect the page numbers of the combined catalog (not my scans). |

Latent Image
I remember that company. In the 1960's they sold exposed, undeveloped 35mm B&W film.
You could develop it yourself and make prints. I purchased some rolls, but lost interest pretty quickly. The slides and prints he sold were of decent quality. IIRC he portrayed the models as being "new" and "innocent", but most were in the adult industry already. |

The Latent Image had ads in photograpy magazines, Popular Photography and Modern Photography in the 70's. It was around 1977 when I bought some undeveloped film from them to develop and make prints.

Kelly Lindstrom = Linnea Quigley
Member sidaris here claims that the model named Kelly Lindstrom in The Latent Image catalogues is the same as Linnea Quigley (imdb). Based upon his posts in her thread he seems quite knowledgeable about Linnea.
Two slides posted in Linnea Quigley's thread thanks to K_D. Kelly Lindstrom is shown in the below supplement from 1987-Spring, right-hand page, row two, left. Although very small it seems like a match for the above second slide. The name Kelly Lindstrom also appears in the 1981-Summer supplement but without a picture. sidaris has also recently posted this. Does it perhaps indicate Larry Caye did more specialised work than just for skin mags or am I over-reading? Quote:

I found out about them through a small ad in the back of a magazine. I did buy a few sets at about $10 or $20.
