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
Revisiting one of GHM’s one name models, Zigrinda from page 2 of Kamera No.87 (1968), but this version is from the actual medium format negative that I have in my collection. She only appeared for GHM in Kamera No.87 and the glamour film ‘Zigrinda, Britain’s Top Stripper’. I originally posted a scan from the Kamera magazine of this shot here, but this shot is much clearer, although it doesn’t improve the dodgy hat. :)
A beautiful shot of the model known only as Vicky by Harrison Marks. Taken in the grounds of Ewhurst Manor, this shot of Vicky shows off her wonderful naked body and that perfect triangle of hair below. Most of the images of Vicky were published in the last few editions of Kamera with similar shots to this appearing in Kamera No.87 (1968) with most having Vicky posing in the garden and grounds of Ewhurst. I’d certainly fire off my cannon if I came across this view of Vicky :)
The Jimi Hendrix Album ‘Electric Ladyland’ is 50 years old this year, and one of its controversial and banned covers back then featured a bevvy of naked beauties posing on a black background. Several years ago I got asked if I could identify any of the models and back then my knowledge was lacking. Now I’ve been asked again, and on revisiting the cover I realize that I can now name several of the models and recognize several more.
Back then the cover photographer, David Montgomery, said he found the girls in The Speakeasy nightclub in London, which may be true. But I know those I’ve identified were also well known glamour models appearing in many of the magazines back then and worked for the likes of Harrison Marks and Russell Gay. I’ve numbered the models I can now identify, and the list is below, plus a few I recognize and have images of but have no name.
| 1. Jenny Lane 2. Maria Frost 3. Nicole Yerner 4. Cindy Neal 5. Rene Brown (Reine Sutcliffe) | 6. Maya Zell 7. Ann Day? 8. Unknown but Familiar (Worked with GHM) 9. Jane Steadman 10. Samantha Bond 11. Helga Berk |
The three blondes front left also look familiar, but can’t put a name to the lovely faces. Anyone recognize any other models?
One of the models named Reine Sutcliffe was interviewed in Melody Maker in 1968. “It makes us look like a load of old tarts. It’s rotten. Everyone looked great, but the picture made us look old and tired. We were trying to look too sexy, but it didn’t work out.”
Thanks to Les for contacting me and asking to look at it again :)
Another unknown model photographed by Harrison Marks that I thought I’d already posted but hadn’t! This model appears late in the Kamera run with her only appearing in the penultimate and final editions Kamera No.88 & No.89 (1968). This shot is from a number of negatives I have of her, but was also published in Kamera No.88 P20, but in a slightly retouched version. As you can see in this shot there is just a bit too much on show for publication back then, although they seem to have removed everything including the stubble in the printed version :)
Another model that always seemed to wear a wig when posing and I have this model down as Unknown Model No.38 in my list of unknown models
Zigrinda by Harrison Marks. She only appeared in Kamera No.87 (1968) and the glamour film ‘Zigrinda, Britain’s Top Stripper’. The three images from No.87 are all from the same set of her wearing the white hat and black push-up bra, but as far as I’m aware, this shot from my collection never got published?
Something for all of us currently in the UK and feeling the effects of storm Emma. Nicky Stevens posing in just a winter hat, boots and a hand warmer by a postbox by Harrison Marks. I’m not sure if this shot warms me up or just makes me feel colder, but a great view of Nicky either way! It’s cold and very snowy out there so stay safe and warm out there everyone :)
Shots of Nicky posing in the snow like this appeared on the November 1968 Kamera Calendar page and several magazines including Rogue.
Neva in the doorway of the Lantern Cottage set from the July page of the 1968 Kamera Calendar. A stunning dusky woman from Trinidad not blessed with the largest of chests and a strategically placed hand covering below, which is a real shame as she had the most fantastic thick lush bush on her! I suppose full-frontal shots were a bit risqué for the calendars back then, even though most ended up on the walls of workshops etc.
Another model that until recently I’d been unable to identify, whom I’ve now identified as Toni Ash. I have a growing collection of original negatives of Toni, including this one, and she seems to have only appeared on 4 pages of the last edition of Kamera No.89 (1968), but this shot isn’t included.
Toni has a very typical late 1960s look to her facially, but wow what a body she also possessed! Not a slender figure, but definitely one worth looking at, especially with those large round boobs with just the right amount of droop to them. Then there’s that thick untouched pussy that you don’t get to see in the magazines, a perfect addition to the overall look of Toni, plus the obligatory frilly opened négligée!
Two shots of Danielle Denese helping Gerry Brown get undressed taken by Terry Sparks Russell Gay. Danielle has the more classic white underwear and stockings, whereas Gerry has gone for something a little more daring and sexy with a sheer underwear set, although Danielle seems intent on seeing everything by removing Gerry’s underwear! These shots appeared in the 1960s Glamour Book and unfortunately are the only two from this set that I have seen, but I’d love to have seen the full set and where this strip ended up?
Update: Thanks to Terry for letting us know it was him that took these fabulous shots not Russell Gay and that they were taken in November 1968 at the flat of Danielle’s boyfriend. Always good to get some context around shots like these. :)

One of my own colour negatives of Pam Arnold (Tiffany St.Clair) by Harrison Marks. A stunning shot of Pam on the Jungle set, of which most of the shots went on to appear in Kamera No.88 (1968), but this particular shot doesn’t, so not sure where it appeared. It’s an original medium format negative, so not even mass produced as a Pamar slide? Plenty of Pam and Leopard skin to be seen in this shot!
