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
I posted a version of this shot several years back, but this is from the original negative. A good example of how GHM used light and shade to good effect, using Pat Davis as the model and some oil to enhance the reflections. A great view of her oiled body, those curves and smooth lines and pussy. :)
A very cheerful looking UK model from the 1960s posing in the studio with a beach-ball. This is from a set of 35 mm black and white negatives that came complete with its original card album. You can see the cover above, which gives you a wealth of information, including when and where they were taken.
All 16 negatives feature a naked Caroline West posing in the studio using props such as the beach-ball above or a fan. But most of her are her posing naked, which I’ll post at a later date. I love finding sets like this with all the details on, as I’m always wondering about the history behind the shots.
Such a great smiley shot from Caroline and her slender body :)
Sonia Mitchell, better known as Terry Graham, posing on a beach for Terry Sparks. The beach in question was down in Bournemouth, and the date according to Terry was May 1969. I published a small set of these shots a while back that Terry sent over from an old SVHS tape. Now I have a set of 11 contact sheets with over 130 shots of Sonia at various locations around Bournemouth and some at the flat in Notting Hill and all fabulous quality such as this shot.
Looking at this shot of Sonia kneeling topless like that on the beach I long for some warmer days, roll on the summer I say!
A shot for one of my members who recently contacted me and mentioned Nicky Stevens and the glamour film by Harrison Marks she appeared in. The film was ‘Early One Morning’ and featured Nicky having a bath in an old-fashioned ‘hip bath’. Unfortunately, I don’t have a copy of the film, but realized I had published one still from that shoot before and another worth sharing now.
The stunning Sue Owen sat atop a stepladder as she poses for Harrison Marks in his flat, I think? A fabulous smile as she sits there naked showing off her small tits and hairy bush with a couple of masterpieces in the background. All very artistic!
Bobby Sparrow without her wig, and Terry remembers that he worked with her several times during 1971 and 1972, mostly shooting the stockings and suspender belt style photo for the American market. She usually wore the wig and the only picture of her without one is above, but it does match them to a similar one published in Oui.
Terry also recounts that she was a very lively girl and good fun to have a laugh with. “I remember one occasion when she proudly showed me her pubic area trimmed into a heart shape. I think her current boyfriend was a hairdresser”.
“I don’t know what happened to her after about 1973 as we lost touch, but I did see a rather distressing article in a national newspaper sometime in the mid 1990s. It concerned an ex-glamour model called Roberta something, who had developed MS and was terminally ill. There was a picture of a very sick lady laying in bed, and I just could not make up my mind if it was her or not. I do remember that her real name was Roberta, so it may have been her, or it may have been someone totally different”.
Thanks to Terry for the story and hopefully the last part isn’t true, and it wasn’t Bobby, but unfortunately these things do happen. Thanks also to Terry for more shots of Bobby at Pegwell bay and that heart shaped bush!
Another request fulfilled, a beautiful woman on all fours! I’m not 100% convinced this is vintage, but it’s too good not to post regardless. I just love the pose and those sheer lace panties clinging to that fabulous round arse! ;)
Anita Terry by Leslie Bainbridge and another 1960s/70s UK model that I’ve been able to identify. Anita also posed for many other photographers of the time, and also appears in several sets taken at Astoria studios. This shot is a typical Bainbridge pose with the model fully shaven and posing outdoors, but does show off Anita’s figure perfectly. :)
A simply beautiful shot of Sue Owen posing on the Lantern Cottage set by Harrison Marks. Sue back in her blonde stage as she kneels amongst the lobster pots and nets. A simple look from Sue as well this time, as we are used to seeing her with dark eyeliner. Here she looks very plain, although the rest of her makes up for it. :)
A beautiful shot of Penny Raye by Howard Roark from my collection. Love this set of her posing in a spacious modern living room setting. A perfect view of her body as she kneels on all fours, looking back over her shoulder.
