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
Continuing my monthly posts of images from the 1966 Kamera calendar. June features another regularly used model by Harrison Marks in the form of Elaine Desmond. June supposedly being a warmer month features Elaine posing nude at the beach. The beach is of course Bedruthan down in Cornwall. :)

Teri Martine, Nicky Stevens and Alicen Warden take a dip in a rock pool at Bedruthan beach in 1966. Not the best shot of all three, but Nicky seems to be having fun, Alicen looks cold and Teri isn’t sure!
The stunning Teri Martine by Harrison Marks taken in 1966 at Bedruthan Beach, Cornwall. Kneeling amongst the rocks and mussels on the beach we great a great view of Teri’s naked body and the sea behind her!
Although taken as part of the 1966 trip to Cornwall with several other models over two weeks, this shot doesn’t appear in Kamera on Location 66. Nor does it feature in Solo No.52 featuring Teri, so it does make you wonder why such a great shot didn’t make either?
A fabulous set of extra shots taken on location in Cornwall with Harrison Marks. Normally behind the camera this set shows GHM posing with his models from the both weeks. We see GHM posing and relaxing with Nicky Stevens, Teri Martine, Alicen Warden, Samantha and Penny Winters. May favourites have to be the informal shots of Alicen having a smoke helped by GHM and Penny hugging GHM’s leg, as they both seem so natural!
A shot of Elaine Desmond precariously posing in the river, taken by Harrison Marks. Location wise this is on location down in Bedruthan, Cornwall, as I’ve seen similar shots at this river used in Kamera on Location 66. Elaine wasn’t part of the original set of models that appear in Kamera on Location 66. It does appear it was a popular location for GHM, as several other models including Elaine are seeing posing in the same locations during the late 1960s.
Nicky Stevens posing for Harrison Marks from an original negative taken in 1966. You can’t beat a naked woman on all fours on a Cornwall river edge, but she does look a little close to the edge for my liking! Taken on location in 66 and part of the team that stayed down near Bedruthan from 14th May for two weeks and Nicky looks like she was having a good time and what a delicious position she is in :)
Also it’s that time again for me to take a break for my hols! I know there haven’t been many posts in May, but that is due to other circumstances, but hopefully on my return things will pick up again :) see you in a few weeks, but in the meantime I leave you with Nicky’s beautiful derriere!

Nicky Stevens posing for Harrison Marks from an original negative taken in 1966. You can’t beat a naked woman on all fours on a Cornwall cliff top edge, but she does look a little close to the edge for my liking! A wonderful kneeling view of Nicky with the equally stunning Cornwall coastline in the background. Taken on location in 66 and part of the team that stayed down near Bedruthan from 14th May for two weeks and Nicky looks like she was having a good time despite the precarious position!
Sophia Dawn, taken by Harrison Marks on a railway track down in Cornwall. I’ve seen this location used several times by GHM, but this shot has to be my favourite, as I love the pose from Sophia plus the wonderful smile. Taken on location down in Devon, not far from Bedruthan, and it’s famous beach and steps I would guess? I bet her bum was cold on that track!
Update: Thanks to Omigosh who thinks the train track is Pencarrow on the Wenford Bridge line – very few trains, so “safe” and only a dozen or so miles from Bedruthan.
Elaine Desmond, posing for Harrison Marks as she kneels on her hands and knees naked in the sand. Taken from an original medium format negative down on a beach, probably on location in Cornwall in the mid 1960s. A fabulous pose by Elaine, but she does seem to have a bit of a sandy bottom!
