The Curves of a Perfect Figure

A wonderful shot outlining the perfect figure and curves of the female form. The figure in question this time is of course Lorraine Burnett by Harrison Marks.

  1. Yes, a super shot, made by the pose, composition and the lighting – and another which I have never seen before. Whatever you are doing to show the photos at their best is certainly worthwhile. I suspect that many of them are appearing on the screen better than they did on the printed page – so,again, well done and thanks for posting.It seems to me that Marks' work went downhill as the 'Sixties progressed. His early work (like this one?) seems to me more proficient, both technically and aesthetically, although that is merely a personal opinion and others might not agree.Alexei

  2. Thanks Alexei for the kind remarks and insightful comments as always. If you read the history around GHM it seems that it was Pamela Green that influenced his early work and the way she got the models to pose. As the 60's progressed and GHM and Pamela parted company his interest in this type of photography seems to lessen for more extreme views. These type of shots also became less used as censorship laws relaxed and the demand for more 'open' views became popular. Personally I prefer the subtleness of the early work, but a bit of 'openness' never hurts now and then!
