Pamela Green – The Golden Hour!

Did Pamela Green ever take a bad photo? Looking at those I’ve published and seen so far I don’t think so, in fact the camera loved her and whatever pose she tried seemed to work. 

The above image is a good example of her at her best posing for Harrison Marks on the Scilly Isles for Kamera on Location (1958). Taken with one of GHM’s Rolleiflex (F.16/125) with a medium green filter in the golden hour (The hour before sunset) it captures Pam’s glistening body in the setting sun to perfection.  The shape she had her body, the curve of the hip toward the camera and not even looking at the camera all set this shot up and seems so effortless. Truly the golden age of glamour photography I believe!

Lorraine Burnett in Colour (Coloured)

I can’t keep up with the quantity and quality of the coloured images at which Oldiznewagain is churning them out, so cheating and taking the easy option and adding a few in one post to try and catch up!

Two shots of Lorraine Burnett coloured from two of my original posts, with the original after each coloured version.


Kamera Special No.1 (1957)


Kamera on Location (1958)

Both very good coloured versions of the originals, but my favourite is the top one as the colours look more realistic. It’s probably easier to colour a person and the skin tones than an outdoor location, as the sand, rocks and grass in the second look slightly unnatural. I also note that by colouring the images Oldiznewagain loses some of the grain and texture from the original black and white versions, giving the coloured versions a smoother feel. Again, not a criticism, rather an observation, as I know I couldn’t do anywhere as near a good a job as these and leave that to Old!  Restore yes I can do that, colour not on your life!

Petrina Forsythe – She Walks in Beauty (1964)

Two contrasting shots taken of Petrina Forsythe by Harrison Marks from She Walks in Beauty (1964). The top shot a typical pose on the beach that many models adopted for this publication, but the bottom one a more arty shot using an old derelict tin mine as a backdrop.

Alicen Warden

A curious one this as this is Alicen Warden posing on location for Harrison Marks down in Cornwall. As far as I can work out the only time she posed for GHM was that two week photo shoot down on location in Cornwall in 1966. She appears on the cover of ‘Kamera on Location 66’ as well as in the magazine itself. There is also a reprint of the ‘On Location’ shoot by Nostalgic Publications with some different shots of her, but then she seems to have dissapeared, or used a different modelling name?

Ann Walker – The Only Way To Take A Dip!

A shot of Ann Walker in the buff taking a stroll amongst the waves on some sunny UK beach. How do I know it’s the UK, well it’s sunny and she still looks bloody cold, look at the goose bumps on her! Following on from the discussion here with David, Ann definitely doesn’t look like a plucked turkey in this one!

Teri Martine – A Quick Dip

Teri Martine posing in 1966 down in Cornwall in what looks like a river or estuary for the Harrison Marks publication ‘Kamera on Location 66’. I’m not convinced it actually appeared in the publication, but was definitely one of a set of photographs taken over a 2 week period where several models went to Cornwall with GHM.

Ann Walker – 1960's Beach Bunny

A glamorous pose from Ann Walker topless on the beach from the pages of ‘Ed Alexander Photographs English Beauties’ (1964). Looks a bit sunny and warm to be an English beach, but I could be wrong and Ann is just putting on a brave face.
