Two very contrasting figures and models in the shapely forms of Jean Rogers & Judy Geeson. The 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!
June Russell – Femme Cover (1958)
Crushing corsets is June Russell on the cover of the Harrison Marks publication Femme. The first issue of Femme appeared in the summer of 1958. It had a Harrison Marks’ photograph of June Russell on the cover, but it featured photographs ‘from Britain, America, and the Continent’ of nude and seminude female models by other photographers as well as GHM himself. The 1958 edition had no issue number and may have been a one-off, but another issue appeared some time later. From this issue, ‘Femme’ reverted to the tried and tested 7″x 5″ pocketbook size and appeared as The New Femme No.1.
A stunning shot of June Russell in white corset, pink frilly knickers and fishnets and the floral wallpaper makes an appearance in many of GHM’s early shots.
June Palmer – Long Haired Lover!
A beautiful shot of a young June Palmer from a restored set of 35 mm colour negatives. I think the long dark hair isn’t real but a hair extension? I also love those pink, slightly parted lips. :)
Look out for a big June update in the coming weeks. I have so many images of June, it’s hard to keep up with them all. So I’m going to publish full sets of her that I’ve collated over the years. Sets will range from her very early years, with key photographers such as Harrison Marks, and sets of her later in her career. Members will of course have full access to the larger images without watermarks.
Della’s Foxy View!
A restored original silver gelatin print of Della Fox. A fabulous shot of her, but I’m not too sure what that is on her shoulder, don’t think it’s a fox, but it made a good title! I suppose it might be a mink or something, but still a bizarre thing to have in the shot and draped over her shoulder. Maybe the photographer thought he needed to add something more to the shot, but what’s wrong with just a naked Della?
June Palmer – A Closet Strip!
A revisited shot of a stunning young June Palmer posing in front of a wardrobe wearing a dark fur shoal, scanned and restored from an original 35 mm Kodak slide. I love this shot of June with long hair stood with hands on hips as she looks at the camera, with a hint of shaved pubis showing as well! The original slide was faded and red, so the restoration is pretty good, even if slightly grainy.
