Ann Austin on the cover of Camera Model Guide No.4 from the 1950s, and a fine figure it is! Published monthly by Arnold Book Co. Ltd in London, this edition appears to have been published in 1958 and was designed to assist the student of art photography. It featured shots from many of the established photographers of the time, including Eva Grant, Russell Gay, Stanley Long and Roger Davis, who also took the cover photo of Ann. A beautifully crafted magazine, but another under the guise of studying nude art, when really we all know it was just an excuse to legally published nudes. :)
Another Brush with Pat Davis
Another shot of Pat Davis by Harrison Marks posing on the loft set as she sits on a crate with an artist’s paint brush! This shot first appeared in Kamera No.23 P32 (1959), but this is from the original medium format negative in my collection.
A beautiful shot of Pat as she toys with that brush, and such a fabulous view of her figure. A glimpse of one of the first Kamera calendars in the background featuring Pamela Green as well.
Lavinia Grant By Harrison Marks (1958)
Lavinia Grant from Kamera No.13 (1958). As far as I know, Lavinia only appeared six times in Kamera for Harrison Marks in the late 1950s, one in this issue, three in No.14 and two in No.21. I’m not sure if she ever modelled or appeared for him in any other publication.
A very sultry looking model showing off a cracking figure, with small pert tits and great bum and loving the dimples.
Rochelle Lofting: A Look of Seduction (1958)
Rochelle Lofting by Harrison Marks from Solo No.6 P11 (1958). She looks very seductive in this shot with that typical and classical 1950s hairstyle and makeup. What’s not so classical, but equally enthralling about the shot is the way she’s squeezing those beautiful tits between her arms, highlighting those small circular areola with little hard nipples protruding from them. A seductive and delicious shot. :)
Marie Deveraux – Deserted Delight!
A very sunny view of a smiling Marie Deveraux taken on the Isles of Scilly in 1958 sitting topless in the sand dunes wearing a sarong, blond wig and scarf. Photos from this shoot were published in the first Kamera on Location hardback book, and a very similar image of Marie appears within those pages, and I published it here.
Pamela & Marie on Red
Re-edited & Re-published. A superb shot of Pamela Green and Marie Deveraux reproduced as a Pamar colour slide, that was originally published as one of the colour pages in Kamera No.14 (1958). A very clear, crisp shot of these two iconic ladies in a classic pose for Harrison Marks and one of my favourites featuring Pam and Marie.
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.
Pamela Green – Red & Blue (1958)
A restored shot of Pamela Green by Harrison Marks from a 35 mm colour slide taken back in 1958. Nothing too risqué about the shot, but love the pose with her curved hip to one side like that and that bountiful bust popping out between that blue leotard. A fabulous contrast between Pam’s red hair and the blue outfit as well. A classic 1950s pose that will have surely adorned the pages of an early Fiesta magazine.
Unfortunately the slide is a bit damaged, so the image isn’t as crystal clear as it could be, not that it detracts from the overall view :)
