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
A cheeky little shot of June Simpson from an original Pamar colour slide. Another Harrison Marks shot from this studio set of June, but this has great use of shadows to give June’s back and bottom great shape and contrast. What a view of her arse and one of my favourite sets of June, but wait till you see the set of her posing nude in a paddling pool!
I’ve published the dark haired beauty in this shot before and have several other shots of her, but I first came across her in this shot posing with Jean Rogers. Jean is another late 1950s model that caught my eye, or at least her big tits did! She appears in many late 1950s prints, both alone and with other models and seems to enjoy changing her hairstyle frequently, mostly with wigs, as I’ve seen her with short blonde hair and darker variations.
The other thing I like about Jean is her figure, as it’s truly a natural curvy figure with a bit of a tummy on her, which isn’t a bad thing as it just makes her look even better. A great contrast in this shot between the models, a sort of thick and thin combination to enjoy!
Another restored print from the Oxxbridge collection, but this time a Harrison Marks shot of Thelma laying on the leopardskin rug! This shot appears to have been taken in the late 1950s, as similar shots with the same rug appear in both Kamera No.4 (1957) and Kamera No.11 (1958), the latter featuring Thelma in colour on the cover and centre pages. Shots that appeared in Kamera and some that weren’t were also mass printed and sold as individual prints and postcards and sold (probably under the counter in plain brown paper bags!) to the discerning collector.
A smoking hot shot of a very sophisticated, but nude Sylvana Manto (Madelaine Bannister) posing in long black gloves from the late 1950s.
A very sexy, sophisticated look with those long black gloves, earrings, and the cigarette holder. Although, the cigarette would be frowned upon today. Still, it’s a fabulous shot of Sylvana and her curves. :)
A restored print of Thelma, posing with one knee up! I don’t recall seeing this image of Thelma appearing in Kamera itself, but a fab shot of her regardless. It appears to be in the living room of GHM’s flat, as we can see that familiar diamond wallpaper on the walls again!
Pamela Green as Rita Landre posing in open blouse and short leather skirt from Kamera Special No.2 P51 (1958). A shot from this set of photo’s it features Rita in a short (red) leather skirt, open blouse and a bejewelled cross necklace.
Pamela Green, posing as Rita Landre with nothing but a white fur coat for cover! Taken by Harrison Marks and published in the 1959 hardback book, P54 ‘Pamela – A Portrait in 58 Studies’, a beautiful shot of Rita with a quizzical look on her face.
A black and white shot of Jennifer Garland posing perched on a four poster bed by Harrison Marks, and one of several shots from this set. Taken in the studio it has the familiar bedding we’ve seen in other shots and a very uplifting view of Jennifer’s tits as she squeezes them together! A very odd shape to her right leg and thigh in this shot though, but I think it’s just the angle of the shot and position of her leg, rather than bad editing.
Another wonderful shot of June Simpson posing for Harrison Marks wearing the daisy earrings from Kamera No.20 P20 (1959). A simply stunning pose with that long blonde hair and daisy earrings, and probably from this set, including one of my own original colour negatives.
Jennifer Garland by Harrison Marks from the colour centre pages of Kamera No.20 P16 (1959). I don’t know if it’s just the colours used, but a lot of the colour shots of Jennifer seem to have her with very pink/red nipples or maybe that was a trait of her skin tone, if she was a true redhead? A great classical shot of Jennifer from an early Kamera.
