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 second cheeky little shot of Dawn Grayson posing in a very short sheer pink négligée that leaves little to the imagination! Taken outdoors at the same location as this original shot, it comes from a scan of an original 35 mm Kodak slide from my own Dawn collection and is the last of two shots I have from this set.

I love a good mystery normally, but sometimes recognizing the face (and body) of a model, but not remembering her name can be frustrating! This model is one example, as I’ve published one of my own negatives by Harrison Marks here before, but was unable to name her. Now I’ve been sent a full set of the same model posing and stripping with a bamboo ladder, but again it was driving me made as to who she was!
Well by chance today I was looking back through my video’s and noticed this post of ‘Brides in The Bath – Part 2’ and damn me, but there she is in the image and video (2:47) as a can-can girl! Then coincidence number two, I was looking through a copy of Nature’s Intention Vol.1 No.2 and came across these shots of Danielle Denese. Bugger me it seems to be the same model in all of them, so have I identified her as Danielle Denese? My track record of identifying models isn’t bad, but I would say this is one of those 50/50 shots, as the hair, body and facial features match, but I have very few named images of Danielle to actually reference.
I’m going with them all being the same model and it being the model named as ‘Danielle Denese’ by Harrison Marks, because there’s no guarantee that’s her name, or she didn’t model under another name? So one more off the unknown list unless anyone can prove otherwise. :)
The start of a very bizarre little set of images of June Simpson posing nude in and around the edge of a red paddling pool! This comes from an Esquire colour slide set of 8 slides and was set No.48 featuring two models in two settings. Four shots were of June Simpson in a garden setting as above, and the other 4 were of another model in a rock and seascape setting. I have 3 out of the 4 slides of June with the paddling pool, but I have no idea who the other 4 slides featured.
An odd choice of prop in the red paddling pool, but who am I to complain as we get to see June naked in the shots. The weather or water looks like it’s a bit cold, as June’s nipples look very erect! No idea where this garden is located, but could well be Ewhurst with that lawn and flower border edging a driveway?
A cheeky little shot of Dawn Grayson posing in a very short sheer pink négligée that leaves little to the imagination! Taken outdoors at the same location as this original shot of Dawn and Gloria Lomax. It comes from a scan of an original 35 mm Kodak slide from my own Dawn collection and is only one of two shots I have from this set.
I’ve only just received this original negative, but thought I’d share it, as it has two of my favourite 1960s models in it, Dawn Grayson and Gloria Lomax (Donna Ambrose). Scanned from a 35 mm slide, it has Dawn, Gloria and another model that name escapes me for now posing on a lawn in just their knickers. I love the contrast in knickers with Gloria wearing white between the two others wearing black and a shame only Gloria is looking directly at the camera.
Having been contacted by Gloria in the past, I knew that both her and Dawn used to travel up to London from Luton on modelling assignments, so it’s fantastic to actually see a shot of them modelling together. Gloria looks stunning as always, but a shame the others are looking away, and it looked like a warm summer when this shot was taken as the grass looks a little dry!
Can anyone put me out of my misery and identify the third model in the shot, as it’s bugging me who she is?
A young June posing in the studio perched on a stool that was restored from a very damaged colour 35mm slide. There were only two colours left from the slide blown out white and magenta, so the only thing to do was convert it to black and white. Still a great shot of June and her figure and worth sharing even if not colour.
