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
Julie (Shearing) posing nude on a leopardskin rug from Kamera Special No.1 P92 (1957). I love Julie and this pose is no different, in the way she is leaning forward giving us a great view of her curves and the shape of those boobs, as she looks sideways at the camera, beautiful! I still find it fascinating, that although she looks so Latinesque she was an English beauty through and through, looks as they say can be deceptive.

One of three prints of Sylvana Manto (Madelaine Bannister) from Kevin, posing on this set with longer hair and the white curtains in the background. I liked Sylvana before, but Kevin has now got me hooked on this lady with her great figure, dark hair, prefect lips and sultry look. A very classic looking 1950’s/60’s model with great curves and tits too! More of her to come from this set and others.
Just when I thought I’d run out of stuff sent through by Terry Sparks, a load of new images of his work arrive in the mail from him :)
This is Cherry Gilham who Terry discovered in 1971 and this is the first nude she ever posed for in March 1972, along with 12 others that Terry sent through from the same set. They all show Cherry posing amongst the cushions with this chain bikini bottom and range from topless like this to fully nude exposing a fine bush! Cherry is probably more well known for appearing with Benny Hill in the 1970s on the ‘Benny Hill Show’, as one of the bevy of beauties that used to regularly appear on the show. I was a big fan of the show myself and used to love seeing the speeded up chase sequences where Benny chased the scantily clad women, or they chased him. All good tongue in cheek smutty fun back then, but it seems behind the scenes things got a bit more naughty! Cherry also admitted in her autobiography that she gave Benny several blowjobs in his house after filming was over for the day, naughty girl! As well as working on the Benny Hill show, Cherry also appeared numerous times on the Sun’s Page 3, several film parts and wrote a regular column in the Daily Mail newspaper. There is plenty out there about Cherry if you Google her name, but I, for one, love this shot from Terry and the others that I’ll sort out soon.
A big thank you as ever to Terry for allowing me to share his work from back then. I find his insight and little anecdotes about the models and his time with them so fascinating and always a pleasure to share.

Two restored prints of a nude Ann Austin posing above the camera, giving us a magnificent view of her curvaceous body, wonderful boobs and the not so wonderful wallpaper! I prefer the top shot as you get to see more of Ms Austin’s body and her curves, along with a hint of stubble where she obviously trimmed! It looks as though the wallpaper was actually a screen used for posing in front of, as you can see the proper wall and wallpaper behind it in the tops shot. Cracking stuff from Ann Austin though.

A beautiful shot of a young June taken by Russell Gay and may well have appeared in one of his publications, but it’s unknown as to which and when. I’ve seen a similar shot of June in this outfit before, but that corset looks a damn tight fit to me, but I know that’s the point and gave a woman the curves she craved, but still looks like she can’t breathe! Love the outfit of black panties and stockings, plus the long hair and beauty spot. It also looks to have been taken at the same time as the glamour film ‘So Fur … So Good!‘, also by Russell Gay
About time, we had some more of Lucienne Camille, or as she is better known Sylvia Bay and those magnificent nipples of hers! These two shots come from the pages of Girl Illustrated Vol.5 No.5 (1971). I prefer the second page to the first, as she looks a bit rough in the first. Her body in the shots I’ve seen always seems to have a sheen to it, and I love the contrast of her dark skin against the white of her bathrobe and panties in these.

I’d completely forgotten about these 3 shots of June posing in the studio until Oldiznewagain posted a coloured version of one. Originally sent through by John they show June in the 1970’s posing in the studio not wearing a sheer transparent negligee :) We see some typical poses used by June throughout her modelling career, the coy finger in the mouth look, an over the shoulder look and of course the giving her tits a good squeeze look! Thanks to John for sharing these 3 shots and Oldiznewagain for reminding me I had them. So many June images, so little time!
I thought it was about time I posted another video, so why not start at the beginning with the first Harrison Marks Kamera Cine Film. This film is Kamera Cine Film No.1 titled ‘Art For Art’s Sake’, made in 1959 and published in February 1960 in black and white it was 50ft long (2:30 minutes) and available in both 8mm and 16mm formats. Filmed at the Gerrard Street studio it features Jean Spaul and Pamela Green and the original synopsis states – ‘Lovely Jean Spaul decides to become an artist and as her model she engages beautiful Pamela Green; anything can happen with these two together.’
The film is missing the opening credits, but is complete apart from that and is very good quality considering it’s age, but no sound on this one as I haven’t had time to add any. I’ll leave you to add your own sound effects. A great glamour film from GHM featuring Pamela Green, so enjoy!

When I saw this image sent through by Kevin I knew I couldn’t resist editing and posting it straight away! It’s such a beautifully posed and lit shot of Maria Clarence that I instantly like it. The lighting source from the right highlights Maria’s face, thighs and boobs perfectly, along with the freckles on her shoulder. Add into the shot the shadows showing the curve of her stomach and the reflection on her thumbnail and the shot works for me at every level. A perfect shot of Maria thanks to Kevin!
A two page advert from a photographic magazine in 1959 (title unknown) offering the delightful services of a young June Palmer. I do like a bit of memorabilia of June and there were a couple of lines that made me chuckle in this advert, ‘A Very Good Model Indeed’ is very understated and I love the old style telephone number that uses words and numbers. I also like the fee per hour of £1 10 6, which works out in today’s prices as about £85 an hour. For an hour photographing June cheap at half the price and worth every penny. I know others have photographed June at various times throughout her career including John, so I’m curious what did they pay for the privilege of shooting June?
