David Randolph Hurles (1944 – 2023) was an American gay photographer, whose one-man company, run from a private mailbox in Los Angeles, was called Old Reliable Tape and Picture Company. His work was produced primarily in the 1970s and 1980s.
According to Wikipedia: Models were recruited among ex-convicts and drug addicts. As put by admirer John Waters, "David likes psychos. Nude ones. Money-hungry drug addicts with big d* cks. Rage-filled robbers without rubbers. And of course, convicts." Many of them were dangerous—he wanted them to be, that was a key part of their attractiveness for him—but part of David's skill, which no one since has duplicated, was being able to manage them so that they would perform as instructed and not attack him. However, Hurles also said: "There have been several thousand models. When they are not in prison, or very married, it has been my practice to stay in touch with many of them, often over decades. They are my friends.” On another occasion he said that one of the hardest parts of his job was not getting caught up in the miserable lives of his models.
