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
One of my favourite early Kamera covers featuring Pamela Green and Jean Spaul (Sporle) posing in the living room of GHM’s flat. Not much more you need to say about it really, other than it’s a classic cover and even today has an elegance and style about it that can’t be replicated.
The beautiful Jennifer Garland by Harrison Marks. Taken in the studio with several familiar props, it’s a great view of Jennifer’s figure as she leans against the bedpost, also a hint of hair down below. Looking through other shots of Jennifer, I think the long hair is a wig, as I think she had shorter hair?
The fabulous Maxine (Elaine Ecke) posing for Harrison Marks amongst the hay from Solo No.12 P21 (1959). A whole 32-page magazine dedicated to one of GHM’s early models Maxine, she posed for him before Kamera and Solo were produced and appeared in the likes of Fiesta. Maxine had a stunning Rubenesque figure, that was a pleasure to view in all its curvy glory and I see the wagon wheel makes an appearance again :)
German model Erica posing for Harrison Marks on the loft set in Kamera No.20 (1959). Her figure and magnificent set of boobs are up there with Ann Austin and Paula Page as favourites, but Erica seems slightly more well proportioned than the others. The addition of the fishnets and shadows just add to an already cracking shot of Erica!
Nancy Roberts on the steps of a building in the grounds of Sheplegh Court, Devon, from a scan of a photographic glass plate. Another from the set of Nancy in the grounds of Sheplegh Court in 1959, when she was a mere 20 years old and taken by Leslie Bainbridge, editor of H&E (Health & Efficiency) magazine. A beautiful shot of a sun kissed Nancy laying on those steps in just a hat. :)
Another double delight of beauties, this time Jean Spaul (Sporle) and Maria Hale from the 1959 special Kamera Backstage. Both Jean and Maria appear through-out this special, but more-so Maria both as herself (short dark hair) and predominately as Madeleine Mado (long blonde wig).
Rita Landre (Pamela Green) posing on the Parisian Alley Set by Harrison Marks. This is a scan direct from the negative, but was originally printed in Solo No.13 P40 (1959).
I’ve published several shots of Pam as Rita in this location here and think it is one of my favourite sets of her as Rita, including the colour shot of her kneeling! I have more from the same set, which I will post anon, but thanks to Simon for sending me this and other scans from his Pamela Green collection.
Two flexible shots of June Simpson by Harrison Marks from restored Pamar 35 mm colour slides in my collection. What a pose from June Simpson, showing off that fantastic flexible figure bent over backwards, giving us a different view of her body! One shot taken in the studio, the other in the conservatory at Pamela Green’s parent’s house in Kent in 1958/59. I wonder if there was a view from the front as well. ;)
The stunning Eve Eden (Rosa Domaille) by Harrison Marks. From a restored 35 mm Pamar colour slide, it’s a great shot of Eve posing naked amongst the scattered album covers. The sheepskin rug and diamond wallpaper make an appearance as well. :)
A damp looking Ann Austin From Kamera No.25 (1959) wearing what seems to be a ripped and wet blanket/cloth around her waist as a makeshift cover, which only just seems to be working!
