Dedicated to the published work of Harrison Marks & other prominent photographers of the 1950's, 60's and early 70's. Along with popular glamour models such as June Palmer, Pamela Green, Dawn Grayson and others
Gina Baker by Harrison Marks on the bedroom set, with a slight reflection of her in the mirror behind. As I stated on this post until recently I had her down as an unknown GHM model, but thankfully managed to identify her via a set of 35 mm negatives. This is a wonderful pose stood at the dressing table showing off her slender figure and also one of the lesser known and used models by GHM.
Kathie Gale by Harrison Marks in a kneeling pose in the living room of GHM’s flat. Until recently Kathie was down as another unknown, but I came across some other negatives of her that were named and associated the two.
A beautiful figure with a nice smooth mound and love the freckles, but a bit of a harsh haircut and another beauty to add to the model list :)
Vera Day teasing in a long black négligée from the 1962 hardback book ‘Vera’ P60 by Harrison Marks.
Now for a shot from my all-time favourite set featuring Dawn Grayson, and she’s not even nude! I’ve been in love with this different set of images of Dawn since I started collection memorabilia of Dawn, and I’ve been searching for originals from this set since then. I originally came across several shots of Dawn from this set in Spick & Span Extra No.31 and loved it. There is something about seeing Dawn in a bath full of water still partially dressed in her wet underwear and stockings, and she just looks so damn sexy. I’m sure it wasn’t as sexy and exciting as it looked in reality, but she sure pulled it off well.
Anyway I finally got hold of one of the original medium format negatives as you see above, but would love to get hold of more, but they seem very hard to come by for some reason. Anyway, if anyone knows where I can get hold of the others or even high-res digital scans of the originals I would be eternally grateful. Dawn at her sexiest in my mind. :)
A restored 10 by 8 print of the bountiful Suzi Shaw by Russell Gay taken at his studio. A typical shot that went on to appear in the likes of QT or Model magazines, with the model posing in underwear or other loose garments with various odd props dotted around. Still a rather nice shot of Suzi and her large tits hanging down in this pose :)
Another model taken by Terry Sparks in different rooms around a familiar house from a set of contact sheets in my collection. This time it’s well known UK model Juliette Adams sat posing at a dressing table brushing her hair as she poses for the camera nude. A great shot of Juliette and her slender body and thick full bush, and love the shoe holder on the side of the wardrobe and the handy Scotties tissues close by! :)
Another profile shot of Dawn Grayson from a beautiful 35 mm colour negative of Dawn posing in her gold dress on a black background, similar to this shot in the same dress. What a stunning look she has and love the simple make-up as she looks over her shoulder 🙂
After identifying this model as Anita St. John, I’m finding her pop up in my collection all over the place!
This fabulous shot of her is by Leslie Bainbridge from an original 10 by 8 print sent over by John and shows her posing precariously on a very broken gate! As with all Bainbridge shots, Anita is smooth down below and actually shows off more down there than in any other shot I’ve seen of her.
Superb shot and hope she didn’t get any splinters in unwanted places from that gate :)
Bobby Shaw posing for an amateur photographer in a studio setting wearing a sheer cloth across her waist, just about protecting her modesty. I have several of these negatives of Bobby on the same shoot, but this one is rather odd! All negatives only show Bobby posing, but if you look at the basket, I’m sure that is another hand? Not quite sure what is going on or if there is another model off camera posing with her arm on the basket, but only just noticed it!
A shot of Elaine Desmond precariously posing in the river, taken by Harrison Marks. Location wise this is on location down in Bedruthan, Cornwall, as I’ve seen similar shots at this river used in Kamera on Location 66. Elaine wasn’t part of the original set of models that appear in Kamera on Location 66. It does appear it was a popular location for GHM, as several other models including Elaine are seeing posing in the same locations during the late 1960s.
