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
The buxom beauty that is Ann Day by Harrison Marks. Posing in a short sheer négligée that only just covers her hairy pussy below. Both her big tits and pussy are just visible, but hide things just enough through that sheer material.
Continuing from my collection of Cover Girl. The front and rear cover of Cover Girl No.24 from 1968. I love the concept of a front view on the main cover and a rearview on the back. I think I prefer the rearview of this edition, as you get a great view of the model’s great arse as she leans over a very retro style chair.
A nice uncensored view on the front cover to that no doubt caught the eye of potential European buyers.
Some will say that this type of magazine and post isn’t for them, which I totally get. For me, it’s about capturing and revisiting a magazine that’s disappearing fast in today’s world. These magazines are over 50 years old now, and printed versions are becoming rare. Take into account that these type of magazines are also disappearing because they are seen as not acceptable by certain groups in society today. It makes it even more important to capture and celebrate these magazines, the models in all their fabulous glory and the photographers that pushed the boundaries back in the 1960s. Sometimes it just seems like we are going backwards in our views and everything needs to be censored in case it offends one group or another!
I say just enjoy it for what it is in your mind and if not just move along :)
Toni Ash from Kamera No.89 P17 (1986) taken by Harrison Marks in the living room at his flat. Toni was a stunning late 1960s model with her short hair, fabulous figure and thick lush pussy. You don’t get to see much bush in this shot, but still a great shot of her figure as she kneels in that funky chair!
The beautiful Kay Fitzsimmonds by Harrison Marks. Kay appeared on cover of Kamera No.29 and also in No.27, 38, 42, 43, 44, 52, 57, 64 & No.87. Most of the shots from the above set seem to appear in No.27 and No.29, although I’ve not found this shot?
A stunning profile view of Kay on the loft set, with lots of props in the shot. It still doesn’t deflect from Kay’s body and a hint of smooth pussy :)
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.
