I once did a one night stand with someone who claimed to be the model getting washed off in that photo. I saw those photos, and another from that series showing the washed model's face, at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston back when they had an exhibit of Ritts' photography. Unfortunately at the time of the fling I couldn't with certainty recall the face I'd only seen briefly in that photo, and since that evening I've never seen the photo reproduced anywhere.
So it goes. (Oh, fwiw, his hair and build were such that his claim was conceivable, but of course the face is really what I need to be certain.)

The first photo reminds me of one of Herb Ritts' iconic images, from the same "Body Shop" series that Fred With Tires comes from.
You're absolutely right! I knew it looked familiar, but I could not place it. I love the work of Herb Ritts, it is beautiful!
