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
An absolute beauty of a shot of Margaret Nolan by Russell Gay. This comes from an original 10 by 8 print of Margaret dressed in a school teacher’s robe and not much else.
A typical Russell Gay style photo that you would find in QT, and I’m sure it must have been published. Love the look on her face and the way she slightly leans forward to enhance the view of those tits!
I love it when I uncover more about a model that I post on the site, especially one that posed for Harrison Marks. The above shot is of the model only ever referred to as Michelle by GHM in Kamera No.87 (1968). I have managed to acquire several negatives of Michelle over time, from the one above, to a couple of colour negatives where she shows off a lot more!
Well now, thanks to Tim, who has provided the two shots below, I have a full name for Michelle. She is Michelle Karli/Karlli, and she had small parts in Department S and Doctor in the House in 1969. It’s definitely the same Michelle, as in the full shots I have of her, she has the same two beauty spots on her face. So, another model that posed nude for Harrison Marks then went on to become an actress and do small parts on TV. Or maybe she was always an actress and just did the nude modelling on the side?
Another shot from my portrait collection of glamour models. This time a beautiful shot of Jayne Tracey looking straight at the camera in an off the shoulder dress. Jayne looks stunning with her perfect make-up and hairstyle, all very 1960s :)
Merle Henry by Harrison Marks posing in his living room. A beautiful sculpted pose from her as she kneels showing of her slender form. One of my better shots of Merle and I’ve always wondered if she was English or where she came from as there is something about her look and colouring. :)
A bi-coloured view from the inside cover of Exciting No.21 (1968) of a model on the phone in just stockings and heels.
Another hairy view from the inside of Exciting No.21 (1968). This time a very nice black and white shot of a model in white heels and stockings on the bed showing off her bush!
I love finding memorabilia connected to Harrison Marks and others, be it postcards, prints, magazine articles and catalogues. In this case it’s a 4-page leaflet advertising four Kamera Cine Films under the heading Favourites of the Pharaohs, featuring 6 models, although I’ve counted more! From top left going clockwise, the films and models are:
Episode 1, No.77 – The Bath, featuring Tina McGowan and Danielle Denise
Episode 2, No.78 – The Dance, featuring Danielle Denise, Penny Winters and Laya
Episode 3, No.79 – The Slave Market, featuring Hyldagarde (Hilde Beck)
Episode 4, No.80 – The Mummy, featuring Teri Martine and Tina McGowan
The special offer of an exclusive colour film of Sanda is of course Sandra Cassano. A fabulous colour leaflet to add to my growing collection of vintage catalogues.
Another beautiful shot of Annlyse posing on a black background for Harrison Marks from an original medium format negative. A great shot of Annylse in the studio, and I do like the shots GHM took using a black background and lighting highlighting all the right bits!
I now have 17 editions of Exciting in my growing collection, and they are certainly different from the magazine style of Harrison Marks and other UK photographers. Most shots are by Serge Jacques, and he certainly had a more open and differing style for his models to pose. Not everyone’s taste, but the style of the magazines and models has intrigued me, so thought I’d explore them a bit more! ;)
From my growing collection of Exciting Magazines, the front, and rear cover of Exciting No.26 from 1969. This curly haired beauty isn’t shy in showing off her front and rear either, with two very open but classic continental poses on view. I’m not sure if her hair is natural or a wig, but the collar and cuffs certainly seem to match!
A very blonde looking Paula Page posing on the side of Harrison Marks’ motorboat ‘Pyewacket’. It looked like a lovely day for messing about in the water and Paula looks to be using those big tits of hers as great buoyancy aids.
I would say another still taken at the same time they filmed the black and white 8mm Glamour film No.104 ‘Nautical Nudes’
