This photo was apparently taken at a sci-fi fan gathering sometime in the 1970s.
Mike Hinge (left) (1931 - 2003) was a New Zealand-born artist who contributed some memorable artwork to Heavy Metal magazine in the 80s.
Lou Stathis (center) (1952 - 1997) wrote the 'rok' (i.e., rock) music column for Heavy Metal during the late 70s and early 80s.
I don't know who John Singer (right) was / is.....?
The photo is credited to Steve Stiles, http://fanac.org
The website Onyx Cube, while not maintained after 2017, contains some interesting information about Mike Hinge and his artwork.
Cool picture, and the site it's from is really something. 20th century web design for a site about sci-fi fandom going back decades (mimeographs!). Not much more Lou Stathis, but Ted White is all over the place.
