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 set of 1960s photo’s of a familiar model in the form of Maria Clarence. Seven beautiful shots of Maria posing on a sofa covered with a blue silk sheet with slightly lighter and red hair than normal, although saying that I’ve not seen many colour shots of her before this one. I love the sheer black top that almost allows you to see everything in this shot, which does eventually come off! Members see the full set of images. :)
Everyone sees an image differently, and scanning and editing original negatives is no different. What I think works with contrast, colours and sharpness may not be to everyone’s taste, but that’s why we’re all different! This image is a good example, as it came from an original scan of a negative using a wet scan, which uses fluid on a flat scanner to remove scratches and imperfections from the image (go look it up!). I then took it and enhanced the colours, focus, and crop to give the results above, not a bad effort I would say!
The image itself, it’s taken by Harrison Marks and the mode is known as Georgina or Georgina Michele.
Gill Evans having a quick dip in a rock pool down at the beach in 1966. Taken by Harrison Marks in the summer of 1966 at Bedruthan in Cornwall. Gill was a model from the second week of the trip and seemed to enjoy being in the water, as she is photographed in the sea, rock pools and a river in various shots throughout Kamera on Location 66.
Incidentally, I’m heading down to Cornwall next week, so may just have a visit ot Bedruthan, although the steps down are closed now limiting access.
Monique Devereux by Harrison Marks laying back on silk sheets showing off her magnificent body and hairy mound! A different shot of Monique as she’s wearing a wig, and it may well be from one of her glamour films by GHM, but unknown to me?
Two restored 35 mm black and white negatives of Nicky Stevens posing at Jason Studio’s. This would have potentially been a public or group session for amateur photographers, where she posed for them all as they snapped away. Not up to the quality of Harrison Marks etc but still a great view of Nicky and her body. Unfortunately the only two negatives I have from this session!
Three shots of 1960s UK model Pat Baker, taken by an amateur photographer at Jason Studio’s. These came in the form of two strips of negatives, one black and white and one colour. The black and white set, show Pat stripping from a mesh like leotard that even on left little to the imagination!
A beautiful shot of Sally Dixon from a restored 35 mm colour slide from the 1960s and taken at Jason Studios. A great side view of her figure, but not too sure about the semi deflated beach ball!
A restored 35 mm colour Pamar slide of Bridget Leonard by Harrison Marks. Some interesting props in use with the skull and the big cross necklace, both of which have appeared with other models of that period. The skull pops up everywhere, and the necklace adorned the beautiful neck of Rita Landre (Pamela Green) in a similar set of Pamar slides I’ve posted before.
The dynamic duo of Pamela Green and Jean Sporle by Harrison Marks. Posing nude in the living room of Mark’s flat, I love the use of the natural light from the windows to highlight their bodies. Exquisite poses and figures from both!
Another beautiful restored shot of Rona Scott (Roma) from the same set as this shot, but having progressed a little further. Now Roma is nude and laying on her tummy with nothing more than a pair of high heels, some dangly earrings and a whimsical look on her face!
