Tina Graham – A Coloured Angelic Pose!

Over the last few months, as well as continuing to edit my vast archive, I’ve also been playing around with colouring some of my original images. In the past I’ve avoided this as I’ve seen various attempts to do this with varying degrees of success. Most are either too skin toned in colour or end up having a painted effect and losing the details.

So after many years of using various tools to edit photo’s I gave it a go! The aim being to create a coloured version that looks as though it was originally taken in colour without losing the details. The above shot of Tina Graham is one of my better attempts, as for every successful coloured version (In my view!) I had about 8 failed versions. Some photos lend themselves to colour, whereas others have too much going on to get the colouring looking right.

I know some of you out there hate the idea of originals being coloured, and I totally get that. This is more of an experiment to see how close I can get to an authentic colour version. I have a small gallery of different models I’ve tried, and I sneaked a few onto the site in the last few weeks (guess which ones?)

So, what do you think? Success or fail, good or bad, and want more?

June Palmer – Classic Glamour!


The classical June Palmer from a restored silver gelatin photo. A classic glamour pose as she sits effortlessly on a stool with her long sheer négligée open. Superb shot of her exposing her body and curves for the camera. :)

The Prominent Figure of Yvonne Vella


Another shot of the Latin looking Yvonne Vella from a restored 1950s silver gelatin photo, showing off the perfect lines of her figure. A superb view of her figure as she kneels, pushing her tits out between her squeezed together arms!

Come Fly With Me!


A shot of a naked beauty posing in front of travel posters. I’m not sure if I’d be on the first plane today to a foreign destination or any time soon, but this sort of advert would sure tempt!

Not sure who the model is, but what a great figure and bum on show :)

Rene Bond – Always Worth It!


I don’t think I’ve posted a shot of Rene Bond before for some reason, so what better time than with this original print of her from my collection. I can’t say I’m really a fan of Rene for some reason, but I do like this shot of her, especially her smile and that beautiful pussy!

The nice thing about this print was that it was sent as a freebie with a load of contact sheets I purchased, as an unknown model. Obviously I recognized her immediately, and I’m sure it could have sold individually to the right collector, but as a freebie it was definitely worth it!

Unknown Smiling Bedroom Beauty!


This gorgeous smiling bedroom beauty comes from an original negative taken by Harrison Marks. This unknown model appears in two sets by GHM, one taken on a beach somewhere, with images being published in Kamera No.48 (1962). She also appears in a set of her posing in a bedroom at GHM’s flat, and I have several negatives from both. Both seem to be taken around 1962, but no identification as to whom she is?

A perfect figure with nicely rounded hips and small perky tits, a beauty that would look stunning in any bedroom. Another model to be added to the growing list of unknown models.

A Titillating Lorraine


I love this different shot of Lorraine Burnett posing in the kitchen, as not only is it a good shot of her, but there is so much else going on in the shot! I love the contrast of the black suspender belt, bra, and stockings against the white panties in the shot, plus the way she pulled her bra down to allow one tit to just pop out. She could easily have just been doing the washing up and turned round and popped a cheeky one out for the camera. Although I don’t know many that doing the washing up dressed like that, but I’d definitely allow it. :)

So who remembers Tide then and is it still around? Love the box on the windowsill in the background and the Belling oven.

Jenny Lane – A Perfect Desktop


Love this shot of Jenny Lane laying atop a desk in the office in her stockings and suspenders, what a nice distraction from work. I also love the world map on the wall in the background, as it looks like one of those free giveaways or offers from the Daily Express back then.

Monique's Denim Look


Taken by Harrison Marks at his flat, Monique Deveraux wearing a Demin outfit, but not much beneath! The open jacket reveals Monique’s tits, and I’m not sure if she’s wearing much below those jeans either.

It looks a bit uncomfortable to wear, but I’m sure it wasn’t on long anyway :)

Lorraine Burnett – A Beautiful Set!


A restored print of Lorraine Burnett showing off a beautiful set of pearls, as well as offering up her other fine assets! Lorraine looks very elegant, and you can just see the thigh and leg of one fancy stocking in the shot as well. I love this shot of Lorraine and refrained from making the usual comments about a pearl necklace (slang), but it sure crossed my mind with her posed like that!
